    Describes the narrator's visit to the spa town of Aachen and in particular his tasting of the mineral waters. He likens the latter to the 'water at the Polytechnic [...] after it has been flavoured by an experimental blowing up of the Royal George under water, by the Diving Professor, or some other scientific gentleman connected with the establishment' (35).
