This good natured officer contentedly toiled along with us, under the burning rays of a most sultry sun, round the whole fortifications, and pointed out to us where and how attacks might be made with suc- cess, and in what manner they could be resisted. The sight of the moat, the draw- bridges, the ramparts, the bastions, and the dungeons ; the sally-ports and gates, which communicate with the Citadel from the moat by long subterranean passages, so forcibly recalled to my recollection all that ...I had heard and read of battles and sieges in history and in tales of chivalry, that I could have fancied myself transported back N4 184 A FEW DAYS into ages long since past, into the iron times of arms ; and all that had before only existed in imagination was at once realized.
After visiting all the lions of Antwerp, docks and fortresses ; and ships and statues, and pictures and prisons ; and quays and cathedrals ; and battle-beaten walls and flying bridges ; and decayed monasteries, and modern arsenals ; which, as they have all been often so much better described than I can describe them, I shall fqrbear to describe at all, we returned to the hotel, excessively heated, and tired, and very glad to sit down to rest.
