-Legs and Leg-ees-Tats men and touters-- Moll Raffle and Bang. XIII. OXFORD TRANSPORTS, OR UNIVERSITY EXILES. 235 Albanians doing penance for past offences. A Scene sketched from the Life. Horace Eglantine is proposing "the Study of the Fathers," a favourite College toast, while Tom Echo is enforcing Obedience to the President's proposition by finishing off a Shirker. Dick Gradus having been declared absent, is taking a cool nap with the Ice-pail in his arms and his head resting upon a Greek Lexicon: in the left hand corner may be seen a Scout bearing off a dead Man, (but not without hope of Resurrection).

The admirable disorder of the party is highly illustrative of the Effect produced by an Evening Wine Party in College Rooms. XVII. GOLGOTHA, OR THE PLACE OF SCULLS. 272 Tom Echo receiving sentence of Rustication. The Big Wigs in a Bustle. Lecture on disobe
