THE WELLINGTON.
Socalled from the great Hero; not for the popularity of the name alone, but for the reason that such a Hat was actually worn by him; and, in fact, it is a shape uncommonly well suited both to his face and person; the former being a sort oflong oval, and the latter without the least appearance ofbulk: indeed a ponderous body, tall or short, with a round, or what is vulgarly termed a pudding face, cannot judiciously shelter itself under a Wellington. This Hat is not only particularlybecomingthepersonof his Grace, but there is that in its appearance which is strongly characteristic of his great mind; for, to an excellently formed crown of about seven inches deep, overspreading an inch at top, there is united a fine arched brim of small dimensions, taking a smartish sweep of the fourth part of a circle, and when placed on the head somewhata la Francais, carries with it an uncommon degree of brilliancy and fire: and the fore and hind parts terminating in a closepoint, clearly shows that, whetheradvancingorretreating, this modernCæsaris always sure tocarryhis point.
