We have looked upon almost every prominent object of Nature and Art along the borders of the Hudson, and have communed • profitably, I hope, with History and Tradition on the way. We have seen every phase of material progress, from Nature in her wildest forms, to Civilisation in its highest development. Our journey is finished-- our observations have ceased-and here, with the yielding sand beneath our feet, a cloudless sky bending over us, and the heaving ocean before us--

'Tlie sea! the sea! llie open sea! The Wne, the fresh, (he ever free !

we will say Farewell
