Lord Kames wrote one, which is published in Chambers's Traditions of Edinburgh, ed. 1825, i. 280. In it he bids the traveller to 'indulge the hope of a Monumental Pillar. See ante, iii. 85; and v. 154. He however did break through his rule in his epitaph in Streatham Church on Mr. Thrale, where he says: 'Abi viator. Ib. i. 154.
To amuse Lady Philipps under a long illness, they had read to her the account of the Pelew Islands. Somebody happened to say we were sending a ship thither; the black, who was in the room, exclaimed, "Then there is an end of their happiness." What a satire on Europe! Ib. ix. 157.
