You know what we settled about the toasts. Hunt up old Farmer Elderfield as soon as he comes, and do not frighten him. If you could sit next to him and make him get up at the right time, it would be best. Tell him I will not let any one propose my health but my great-grandfather's tenant. You will manage it best.

Prior's Malone, p. 441. Mme.

There is no evidence whatever of this, and Hawkesworth himself was probably the first person to write the name. In none of the official log-books or other documents does any other name than New Holland occur, and until Flinders suggested the name "Australia," "New Holland" was the generally accepted title of the continent.

Piety afforded me comfort; yet I was disturbed by the objections that have been made against a particular providence, and by the arguments of those who maintain that it is in vain to hope that the petitions of an individual, or even of congregations, can have any influence with the Deity; objections which have been often made, and which Dr Hawkesworth has lately revived, in his preface to the Voyages to the South Seas; but Dr Ogden's excellent doctrine on the efficacy of intercession prevailed.

He could no more have written the Masquerade scene, or the Vauxhall scene, than she could have written the Life of Cowley or the Review of Soame Jenyns. But we have not the smallest doubt that he revised Cecilia, and that he retouched the style of many passages. We know that he was in the habit of giving assistance of this kind most freely. Goldsmith, Hawkesworth, Boswell, Lord Hailes, Mrs.

'What can you mean? said William, in a tone of surprise, which Phyllis took for anger, and she hid her face to stifle her sobs. 'No, no, do not frighten her, said Claude's kind voice. 'Run and make friends with your nephew, Phyllis, said Mr. Hawkesworth; 'do not greet us with crying. 'First tell me what is become of Maurice, said Claude, 'is he blown up too?

'By the bye, if Eleanor and Frank Hawkesworth manage well, they may be here in time. 'Because they are so devoted to gaiety? said Claude.

'Ah! he used to keep the spoilt Marquis in order, said Claude.
