achieved what "all the King's horses and all the King's men" (not of
Cambridge, of course) could not effect!--they have set _Humpty-Dumpty_
on his legs again! And so congratulations to "all concerned"! And,
without prejudice to Sir DRURIOLANUS,

I beg to sign myself, THE OTHER KNIGHT.

THE LAY OF THE ANALYTIC NOVELIST.

["It is not the patent, obvious results of the inner working
of mind on which the modern novelist dwells, it is on that
inner working itself."--_Daily Chronicle_.]

That odd barrel-organ, the human mind,

But if I can only contrive to find
How the pipes will grunt, and the handle will grind,
I don't care a fig for the _tune_!

lease of the Alexandra themselves, will then be a Lessor, is pretty
sure to get the best of the discussion.
