Near the town of Boulogne, and over-hanging the beach, are the remains of a tower which bears the name of Caligula, who here terminated his western expedition, of which these sea-shells were the boasted spoils. And at no great distance from these ruins, Buonaparte, standing upon a mound of earth, harangued his “Army of England,” reminding them of the exploits of Caesar, and pointing towards the white cliffs, upon which their standards ‘were to float’.
