Thus concludeth the Tale of "The Heart of Mid-Lothian," which hath filledmore pages than I opined. The Heart of Mid-Lothian is now no more, orrather it is transferred to the extreme side of the city, even as theSieur Jean Baptiste Poquelin hath it, in his pleasant comedy called _LeMe'decin Malgre' Lui,_ where the simulated doctor wittily replieth to acharge, that he had placed the heart on the right side, instead of theleft, "_Cela e'tait autrefois ainsi, mais nous avons change' tout cela._"Of which witty speech if any reader shall demand the purport, I have onlyto respond, that I teach the French as well as the Classical tongues, atthe easy rate of five shillings per quarter, as my advertisements areperiodically making known to the public.
