where it is, under the shade, by the pond side, near the spot on which your two friends are placed.

We have since spent some time upon Mount Pleasant, under the ruin, viewing the whole world, and envying no one in it, except those who can enjoy the company of our absent friends; that, I hope, is not a breach of any commandment. There, said I, lies our grand metropolis, with all its boasted charms, little in my eyes, and, at this glorious season, despicable to the place I stand upon — yet, for the sake of a chosen few, I could wish to be confined in its bowels, like the prophet in the whale, and on the same conditions-which is no mean compliment in my present delightful situation. But why did not I think of wishing my friends with us? There would be the truly eligible. Fie upon it, that odious word impossible has half choked me. This is Saturday, and I have a pleasure

in thinking, you are breathing the fresh air at Parson's Green; I hope, with all your fanrily; concluding every one, at this season, must prefer air, verdure, and sweets, to smoke, dust, and common sewers. Well, now I will release you, but not without friendly compliments to and from Sir Roger, and, dear Sir,

Your obliged and

faithful humble servant,

D. BRADSHAIGH.
