The terms are 1 pound 6 shillings for two very nice and LIGHT bedrooms and a sitting-room; by the way, light bedrooms are very scarce articles in Edinburgh, since most of them are little holes in which there is neither air nor light.
We called on Dr.Hanley the first morning, whom I think we never should have found, had it not been for a good-natured Dr.of Divinity who took us into his library and showed us a map, and gave us directions how to find him.

Indeed, all the Scotchmen are so civil and attentive, that it is enough to make an Englishman ashamed of himself.

I should think Dr.
Butler or any other fat English Divine would take two utter strangers into his library and show them the way! When at last we found the Doctor, and having made all the proper speeches on both sides, we all three set out and walked all about the town, which we admire excessively; indeed Bridge Street is the most extraordinary thing I ever saw, and when we first looked over the sides, we could hardly believe our eyes, when instead of a fine river, we saw a stream of people.
