Page 48. — ** Glasgow is the most handsome city in Scotland, all the buildings being of fine freestone. It consists of several spacious streets, which, if they were uniform, would appear extremely beautifal. Many of the houses have their gables to the street, and are built over arcades, but too narrow to be walked in with any con- veniency." The author having described the principal features of the city, proceeds: — *' The air of this place ie so clear that a mountain, called Ben Lomond, twenty...-five miles distant, may be seen from the head of King Street. Every thing in the government of the city is carried on in so regular a manner, and with so much strict- ness, that we seldom hear of any disturbances. The inhabitants have been remark- able for their strictness in attending to the public and private worship of God ; so that, in going past their doors in an evening, you may hear so many singing psalms, that strangers are apt to imagine themselves in a church. The hour of dinner here is three o'clock; but it is customary also to take what is called a meridian, or a pint of ale And a salt herring, about one.
