He had based his style on the admirable, if somewhat old-fashioned models, had regularly learned to write, which few do now, by studying the older writers: Swift, Addison, and, above all, the classics. He was at first glad to do "job work," and was employed by Dr. Lardner to furnish the "Statesmen of the Commonwealth" to his Encyclopædia.
He knew Franklin and Richard Price. John Canton, who was the first man in England to verify Franklin's experiments, was a friend of Priestley. So too were Smeaton the engineer, James Watt, Boulton, Josiah Wedgewood, and Erasmus Darwin. He knew Kippis, Lardner, Parr, and had met Porson and Dr. Johnson. His closest friend for many years was Theophilus Lindsey.
There is no lifeboat service at Tryn yr Wylfa. It was impossible to launch an ordinary boat in such a sea. Colonel Denbigh, the owner of the quarry and local magnate, who had been superintending what feeble efforts had been made to effect a rescue, answered gloomily when Betty Lardner asked him if there were any hope. "It's a terrible thing," he jerked.
The honoured names of Chandler, Lardner, Doddridge, Foster, Hallet, and Leland himself, to which many others might be added, may be mentioned in proof of this assertion. The attitude towards Deism of the authors hitherto named is unmistakable. But there are yet two great names which cannot well be passed over, and which both the friends and foes of Deism have claimed for their side.
Lardner, and others, and settled some other correspondence. May 19. I went to the Court, and abode there till about one, and in the Library from one to two, when I was forced to attend a public meeting about the King's statue. I have no turn for these committees, and yet I get always jamm'd into them. They take up a cruel deal of time in a way very unsatisfactory. Dined at home, and wrought hard.
Sir Ulick was surprised and alarmed; but said not a word that could betray his feelings. "A place of my own," continued Ormond, "a comfortable house and estate, on which I could live independently and happily, with some charming amiable woman." "Darrell, Dartford, Lardner, which?" said Sir Ulick, with a sarcastic smile. "I am cured of these foolish fancies, sir."
Among the Nonconformists, and especially among the Presbyterians, the case was different. The Arianism which led to the Salters' Hall conference drifted by degrees into Unitarianism pure and simple. Dr. Lardner was one of the earliest and most distinguished of those who belonged to this latter school.
These good people soon began their quadrilles and galopades, and were enlivened by all the noise that twelve fiddlers could make for their lives. You must not suppose the company was made up of these mummers. There was Dr. Lardner, and Long, the Greek Professor in the London University, and Sheil, and Strutt, and Romilly, and Owen the philanthropist.
The solution is rendered likewise easier in the present case by the consideration that Herod the Great had children by seven or eight wives; that Josephus mentions three of his sons under the name of Herod; that it is nevertheless highly probable that the brothers bore some additional name by which they were distinguished from one another. Lardner, vol. ii. p. 897. Again, Mark vi. 22.
Ormond does not know the original the copy is lost upon him," said Miss Lardner; "and happy it is for you," continued she, turning to him, "that you do not know her, for Lady Annaly is as stiff and tiresome an original as ever was seen or heard of; and the worst of it is, she is an original without originality." "Lady Annaly!" cried Ormond, with surprise, "surely not the Lady Annaly I know."
