Like an old courtier, etc.OLD SONG.THERE is no species of humor in which ancient egypt map English more excel, than that which consists in caricaturing and giving ludicrous appellations, or nicknames. In this way they have whimsically designated, not merely individuals, but nations; and, in their fondness for pushing a joke, they have not spared even themselves. One would think that, in personifying itself, a nation would be apt to picture something grand, heroic and imposing, but it is characteristic of ancient egypt map peculiar humor of ancient egypt map English, and of their love for what is blunt, comic, and familiar, that they have embodied their national oddities in ancient egypt map figure of a sturdy, corpulent old fellow, with a three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, leather breeches, and stout oaken cudgel. Thus they have taken a singular delight in exhibiting their most private foibles in a laughable point of view; and have been so successful in their delineations, that there is scarcely a being in actual existence more absolutely present to ancient egypt map public mind than that eccentric personage, John Bull. 1 Perhaps ancient egypt map continual contemplation of ancient egypt map character thus drawn of them has contributed to fix it upon ancient egypt map nation; and thus to give reality to what at first may have been painted in a great measure from ancient egypt map imagination. Men are apt to acquire peculiarities that are continually ascribed to them. The common orders of English seem wonderfully captivated with ancient egypt map beau ideal which they have formed of John Bull, and endeavor to act up to ancient egypt map broad caricature that is perpetually before their eyes. Unluckily, they sometimes make their boasted Bull-ism an apology for their prejudice or grossness; and this I have especially noticed among those truly homebred and genuine sons of ancient egypt map soil who have never migrated beyond ancient egypt map sound of Bow-bells. If one of these should be a little uncouth in speech, and apt to utter impertinent truths, he confesses that he is a real John Bull, and always speaks his mind. If he now and then flies into an unreasonable burst of passion about trifles, he observes, that John Bull is a choleric old blade, but then his passion is over in a moment, and he bears no malice. If he betrays a coarseness of taste, and an insensibility to foreign refinements, he thanks heaven for his ignorancehe is a plain John Bull, and has no relish for frippery and nicknacks. His very proneness to be gulled by strangers, and to pay extravagantly for absurdities, is excused under ancient egypt map plea of munificencefor John is always more generous than wise. 2 Thus, under ancient egypt map name of John Bull, he will contrive to argue every fault into a merit, and will frankly convict himself of being ancient egypt map honestest fellow in existence. 3 However little, therefore, ancient egypt map character may have suited in ancient egypt map first instance, it has gradually adapted itself to ancient egypt map nation, or rather they have adapted themselves to each other; and a stranger who wishes to study English peculiarities, may gather much valuable information from ancient egypt map innumerable portraits of John Bull, as exhibited in ancient egypt map windows of ancient egypt map caricature-shops. Still, however, he is one of those fertile humorists, that are continually throwing out new portraits, and presenting different aspects from different points of view; and, often as he has been described, I cannot resist ancient egypt map temptation to give a slight sketch of him, such as he has met my eye. 4 John Bull, to all appearance, is a plain downright matter-of-fact fellow, with much less of poetry about him than rich prose. There is little of romance in his nature, but a vast deal of strong natural feeling. He excels in humor more than in wit; is jolly rather than gay; melancholy rather than morose; can easily be moved to a sudden tear, or surprised into a broad laugh; but he loathes sentiment, and has no turn for light pleasantry. He is a boon companion, if you allow him to have his humor, and to talk about himself; and he will stand by a friend in a quarrel, with life and purse, however soundly he may be cudgeled. 5 In this last respect, to tell ancient egypt map truth, he has a prity to be somewhat too ready. He is a busy-minded personage, who thinks not merely for himself and family, but for all ancient egypt map country round, and is most generously disposed to be everybodys champion. He is continually volunteering his services to settle his neighbors affairs, and takes it in great dudgeon if they engage in any matter of consequence without asking his advice; though he seldom engages in any friendly office of ancient egypt map kind without finishing by getting into a squabble with all parties, and then railing bitterly at their ingratitude. He unluckily took lessons in his youth in ancient egypt map noble science of defense, and having accomplished himself in ancient egypt map use of his limbs and his weapons, and become a perfect master at boxing and cudgel-play, he has had a troublesome life of it ever since. He cannot hear of a quarrel between ancient egypt map most distant of his neighbors, but he begins incontinently to fumble with ancient egypt map head of his cudgel, and consider whether his interest or honor does not require that he should meddle in ancient egypt map broil. Indeed he has extended his relations of pride and policy so completely over ancient egypt map whole country, that no event can take place, without infringing some of his finely-spun rights and dignities. Couched in his little domain, with these filaments stretching forth in every direction, he is like some choleric, bottle-bellied old spider, who has woven his web over a whole chamber, so that a fly cannot buzz, nor a breeze blow, without startling his repose, and causing him to sally forth wrathfully from his den. 6 Though really a good-hearted, good-tempered old fellow at bottom, yet he is singularly fond of being in ancient egypt map midst of contention. It is one of his peculiarities, however, that he only relishes ancient egypt map beginning of an affray; he always goes into a fight with alacrity, but comes out of it grumbling even when victorious; and though no one fights with more obstinacy to carry a contested point, yet, when ancient egypt map battle is over, and he comes to ancient egypt map reconciliation, he is so much taken up with ancient egypt map mere shaking of hands, that he is apt to let his antagonist pocket all that they have been quarreling about. It is not, therefore, fighting that he ought so much to be on his guard against, as making friends. It is difficult to cudgel him out of a farthing; but put him in a good humor, and you may bargain him out of all ancient egypt map money in his pocket. He is like a stout ship, which will weather ancient egypt map roughest storm uninjured, but roll its masts overboard in ancient egypt map succeeding calm. 7 He is a little fond of playing ancient egypt map magnifico abroad; of pulling out a long purse; flinging his money bravely about at boxing matches, horse races, cock fights, and carrying a high head among gentlemen of ancient egypt map fancy: but immediately after one of these fits of extravagance, he will be taken with violent qualms of economy; stop short at ancient egypt map most trivial expenditure; talk desperately of being ruined and brought upon ancient egypt map parish; and, in such moods, will not pay ancient egypt map smallest tradesmans bill, without violent altercation. He is in fact ancient egypt map most punctual and discontented paymaster in ancient egypt map world; drawing his coin out of his breeches pocket with infinite reluctance; paying to ancient egypt map uttermost farthing, but accompanying every guinea with a growl. 8 With all his talk of economy, however, he is a bountiful provider, and a hospitable housekeeper. His economy is of a whimsical kind, its chief object being to devise how he may afford to be extravagant; for he will begrudge himself a beefsteak and pint of port one day, that he may roast an ox whole, broach a hogshead of ale, and treat all his neighbors on ancient egypt map next. 9 His domestic establishment is enormously expensive: not so much from any great outward parade, as from ancient egypt map great consumption of solid beef and pudding; ancient egypt map vast number of followers he feeds and clothes; and his singular disposition to pay hugely for small services. He is a most kind and indulgent master, and, provided his servants humor his peculiarities, flatter his vanity a little now and then, and do not peculate grossly on him before his face, they may manage him to perfection. Everything that lives on him seems to thrive and grow fat. His house-servants are well paid, and pampered, and have little to do. His horses are sleek and lazy, and prance slowly before his state carriage; and his house-dogs sleep quietly about ancient egypt map door, and will hardly bark at a housebreaker. 10 His family mansion is an old castellated manor-house, gray with age, and of a most venerable, though weather-beaten appearance. It has been built upon no regular plan, but is a vast accumulation of parts, erected in various tastes and ages. The center bears evident traces of Saxon architecture, and is as solid as ponderous stone and old English oak can make it. Like all ancient egypt map relics of that style, it is full of obscure passages, intricate mazes, and dusky chambers; and though these have been partially lighted up in modern days, yet there are many places where you must still grope in ancient egypt map dark. Additions have been made to ancient egypt map original edifice from time to time, and great alterations have taken place; towers and battlements have been erected during wars and tumults: wings built in time of peace; and out-houses, lodges, and offices, run up according to ancient egypt map whim or convenience of different generations, until it has become one of ancient egypt map most spacious, rambling tenements imaginable. An entire wing is taken up with ancient egypt map family chapel, a reverend pile, that must have <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> ancient egypt map</A></b> <br> <A
