The intelligent reader-which epithet I take to be a synonym for every one who has perused the first part of the Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green,-will remember the statement, that the hero of the narrative "had gained so much experience during his Freshman's term, that, when the pleasures of the Long Vacation were at an end, and he had returned to Brazenface with his firm and fast friend Charles Larkyns, he felt himself entitled to assume a patronising air to the Freshmen, who then entered, and even sought to impose upon their credulity in ways which his own personal experience suggested." And the intelligent reader will further call to mind the fact that the first part of these memoirs concluded with the words-"it was clear that Mr. Verdant Green had made his farewell bow as an Oxford Freshman."
