Grandville. It is, as its name indicates, a great city, — but it is said that
it thinks itself a good deal greater than it really is. I meant to say that
Grandville was its original name, and the name by which even at the
present day it is called by its own citizens. But there are certain wits, or
it may be, vulgar people, who by some process have converted this name
into Grindwell. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
