'I am, dear Sir, 'Your most humble servant, 'Ashbourne, Sept. 1, 1777. 'Edinburgh, Sept. 9, 1777. 'I have a present for you from Lord Hailes; the fifth book of Lactantius, which he has published with Latin notes. He is also to give you a few anecdotes for your Life of Thomson, who I find was private tutor to the present Earl of Hadington, Lord Hailes's cousin, a circumstance not mentioned by Dr.
In France negociations were conducted, investigations made, and witnesses examined by Burnet of Monboddo, Gardenstone, Hailes, and Eskgrove, and at last in July 1767 the Court of Session issued its decision.
No, no, Mary, put all that out of your head. We have not loved one another for twenty years for a trumpery title to come between us now! And you need not fear being too well off for the position. The agent, Hailes, has been continually apologising to me for the smallness of the means. He says either we must have no house in London, or else let Northmoor.
The British Museum has a treatise of Chrysostom, translated by Selling, and written by Meghen for Urswick, afterwards Dean of Windsor and Rector of Hackney, to present to Prior Goldstone of Canterbury. Matthew, which Urswick, as executor to Sir John Huddelston, knight, caused Meghen to write in 1514 for presentation to the Cistercians of Hailes, in Gloucestershire.
As the latter was infected with the sceptical views of Hume, there would seem to have been a scene, for in the Life Johnson is made to say, 'I have not met with any man for a long time who has given me such general displeasure, but Boswell, ever with an eye for copy, writes to Temple, 'it was a very fertile evening, and my journal is stored with its fruits. Then to Lord Hailes he writes: 'Entre nous of Dempster, Johnson had seen a pupil of Hume and Rousseau totally unsettled as to principles.
There would be less now heard of his father's threat in May to disinherit him, and of the son's appeal to Lord Hailes to intercede with him 'to have patience with me for a year or two, and I may be what he pleases. On July 15th he has had a long letter from his father, full of affection and good counsel. 'Honest man, he writes to Temple, 'he is now happy. He insists on having my solemn promise.
Hailes mentioned the name of a private tutor, who was likely to be able to deal with the boy better under present circumstances than a public school could do since at Herbert's age, his ignorance of the classics on the one hand, and of gentlemanly habits on the other, would tell too much against him. 'But, said Mr. Hailes, 'Miss Morton will be a very good adviser to you on that head.
If a man is to wait till he weaves anecdotes into a system, we may be long in getting them, and get but few, in comparison of what we might get. Dr. Robertson said, the notions of Eupham Macallan, a fanatick woman, of whom Lord Hailes gives a sketch, were still prevalent among some of the Presbyterians; and therefore it was right in Lord Hailes, a man of known piety, to undeceive them .
Such good purposes! But how can I give? 'Cannot you give at least a guinea? asked Mary, after hearing some. 'I do not know whether in this position a small sum in the list is not more disadvantageous than nothing at all. Besides, I know nothing of the real merits. I must ask Hailes. Ah! and here is Emma, I thought that she would be a little impatient.
Johnson observed there, that 'it is wonderful how ignorant many officers of the army are, considering how much leisure they have for study, and the acquisition of knowledge . I hope he was mistaken; for he maintained that many of them were ignorant of things belonging immediately to their own profession; 'for instance, many cannot tell how far a musket will carry a bullet; in proof of which, I suppose, he mentioned some particular person, for Lord Hailes, from whom I solicited what he could recollect of that day, writes to me as follows:
