TOURS OF THE ISLAND.

* * * * *

Some years ago it was customary for the then limited number of
Post-masters to adopt a regular three-days' Tour of the island,
dividing it into the North-eastern, the Southern, and the
North-western; differing but very little except as to the _order_
of the days' excursion. Not so now--for a hundred plans would
hardly describe all "the Tours" recommended by the different
inn-keepers and numerous other letters-out of vehicles for
pleasure-parties; to say nothing of the wide difference between the
visitors themselves, as regards the _Time_ allowed.--We have
anticipated, we hope, every question on the subject, by the
arrangement in the preceding pages: but still it may be
satisfactory to some of our readers, to see the most generally
adopted Routes. The reader will perceive that _Appuldurcombe_ is
frequently left as the object of a separate day's trip.
