Nature never planned a spot better
adapted to build up a showy and delightful display of architecture and
gardening than that natural terrace of (St. Paul’s) hills… All the
different classes, however, mingle together, forming a singular mass,
variously habited, speaking different languages, and distinguished by a
variety of complexions, features, and manners.
Yet all this appears
quite common, and excites no curiosity among those who have resided here
but a few months
