said publicly , * We had the happiest king in the world , for he was sure of the Church ' s prayers while he lived , and had a double right to go to heaven when he died , both as he was a cuckold , and as lie was the Lord ' s anointed . ' Nor is their
respect for his friends unworthy in the least the duty they bear to him . If a man of zeal for the government does but perform the least action that is remarkable and out of the way , he is sure to see the face of his betters , and meet with a reward to the full : whereas a man of contrary
principles may do what he will without the least danger of such a favour . As to the libraries , manuscripts , inscriptions , and such fine things as I saw there , an account of them will afford no great entertainment .... I am just going to lose all my company . Mr . B . is going over into Flanders , and Mr . Chandler ' s son , of
the Bath , [ afterwards Dr . Chandler , ] who has lodged with me these four months , has got a place of seventy pounds a-year , and is to leave us next week , as I would do the town if it was not chiefly for one reason . I have a very good opportunity of studying natural philosophy , and particularly anatomy , this winter , which I know not whether I shall ever meet with
again , and , therefore , would willingly improve now , for it is a study of a great deal of pleasure , and may be of some use Pray desire Mr . Milnes to let me know what I am in his debt , for I had need consider how matters stand with me
whilst I live here : and besides , I must lay out twenty or thirty pounds in books t } iis winter . I believe the lead mines must be melted down , if they will but sell well ; and then , Mrs . Milnes , your five pound comes , "

hat I have thoughts of going to France some time in January , but aia not resolved as yet " . " Dear Brother , Calais , " I went on board at Dover last night about two o ' clock : we came over against
Calais by eight , but the weather being misty and dark we kept out till about two , and then landed in good health . I was very little sea-sick . We set out in the Paris coach to-morrow morning , and shall get there this day sevennight . We
have been examined , on one account or another , at four several places , but treated with much civility . The town seems not much preferable to Chesterfield , either for beauty or largeness , but fortified to the sea , and carefully guarded . I observe the soldiers are not near so well clothed
as ours . I hope I shall find the country cheap . Our passage in the coach will cost us but twenty-five shillings , —and we have a bottle of Champaigne before us , that would cost you perhaps seven and sixpence , and stands us but in eighteen pence . You shall hear from me as soon as I get to Paris , and if , in the mean
time , you have occasion , you may direct to me thus : ' A Monsieur Monsieur Seeker , ( for in this land of ceremony one Monsieur will not serve their turn , ) au Caffee de Gr £ goire / I find myself able to talk French among them better than I expected , but here every body talks English . "

( fVithout date . ) " I have , through the goodness of God , pretty well recovered myself by the using of exercise and eating little , which I continually find the best physic ; for th £ original of all my disorder is the badness of my stomach . I wish brother would order me some money by Mr .
Bowes as soon as he can conveniently : how much I do not determine , because whether I have ten , fifteen , or twenty pounds , it is pretty much the same to me , only sending often is . more troublesome to me , a , h 4 if he * has enough by him , not more convenient for him .

" Paris , June 13 , 1719 . " Dear Sister , "I am very much concerned at your illness , and the more so , because it hinders you from writing to me . Your complaints will always be matter of grief to
me , but the hearing them from yourself will be pleasant . Let it be a short letter , let it be ill wrote , let it be as it will — but if you have any ability to write , it will always be a joy to me to receive letters from you , and I hope some advantage to you to write to me . I have
not time for a long letter now , but I was not willing to let three days more pass without giving you a fresh assurance of the part I take in all your afflictions . Would to God I could do more for you ,
oar that I was nearer to you to do what I could . Supply lor me as much as yon can what I ought to do , and endeavour to make yourself something more easy for my sake under ail /' , • . JMrs . Mitees died in the November following . ]
