Note 4 — THE OVERLAND GUIDE-BOOK.

A calesse, the common carriage of Malta, a sort of Brobdingnag imitation of a Dutch toy, can travel anywhere; but those who wish to see the country must adopt some other conveyance. Fortunately, under the government of Lieut.-General Sir F. Bouverie, such attention was paid the roads in the island—a source of advantage to the population, in every point of view, and the public in general—that where, some twenty years ago or less, only two or three carriages on four wheels, the property of private individuals, could be found, they are now in pretty general use, and may be had on hire.
