Excerpt from The Three Clerks, Vol. 1: A Novel All the English world knows, or knows of, that branch of the Civil Service which is popularly called the Weights and Measures. Every inhabi tant of London, and every casual visitor there, has admired the handsome edifice which gene rally goes by that name, and which stands so conspicuously confronting the Treasury Cham bers. It must be owned that we have but a slip-slop way of christening our public build ings. When a man tells us that he called on a friend at the horse-guards, or looked in at the Navy Pay, or dropped a ticket at the Woods and Forests, we put up with the accustomed sounds, though they are in themselves, perhaps, indefen sible The Board of Commissioners for Regu lating Weights and Measures, and the Ofiice vol.

Excerpt from The Three Clerks, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel WE will now go back for a while to Hampton. The author, for one, does so with pleasure. Though those who dwell there be not angels, yet it is better to live with the Woodwards and Harry Norman, with Uncle Bat, or even with the un fortunate Charley, than with such as Alaric and Undy Scott. The man who is ever looking after money is fitting company only for the devils, of whom, indeed, he is already one. But Charley cannot any longer be called one of the cottage circle. It was now the end of October, and since the day of his arrest he had not yet been there. He had not been asked; nor would he go uninvited, as after what had passed at Hampton Court Bridge he surely might have done.
