r at the gatesof the town by the custom-house officers. Thenproceeded by coach to Baden-Baden, Carlsruhe,and Heidelberg. The last-named town proved sointeresting that I remained there for five daysmaking sketches. Proceeded by coach to Frankfortand Mayence. I now commenced walking againwith my knapsack on my back, and reachedRudesheim, where I saw the beauties of the Rhinefor the first time, and crossed the river to Bingen.Next proceeded on foot to Bacharach and Pfalz,passing many old castles romantically situated onthe tops of hills overlooking the river, and reachedOberwesel, with its fine castle of Schonburg. Atthe hotel I tried to speak German, and on askingfor some wine they brought me cold meat. Con-tinued my walk to St. Goar, and crossed the riverto see the castle of Katz. Proceeded along apath beside the river to Boppart and Coblenz,where I crossed the bridge of boats to visitEhrenbreitstein.

In orderto be there in time I was obliged to get up at six,my brother making me a cup of tea before Istarted, and I had my breakfast on my return.This I continued to do even through
