Set out after breakfast, and reached Carlisle at eight o'clock at night. Rokeby Park, October 13. I saw his nephew's wife for the first time, a very pleasing young person. It was great pleasure to me to see Morritt happy in the midst of his family circle, undisturbed, as heretofore, by the sickness of any dear to him.
I fear Croker will shake, and heartily sorry I should feel for that...." Scott to Lockhart: Life, vol. ix. p. 99. R. Plumer Ward. See July 4. A fuller statement of Scott's views at this crisis will be found in his letters to Lockhart and Morritt in Life, vol. ix. Count Itterburg, then in his 20th year, was the name under which Gustavus, the ex-Crown Prince of Sweden, visited Scotland in 1819.
One or two points equally important amused the reviewer, who, like most of his class, detected the hand of Scott. There was hardly a possibility, as Mr. Morritt told Sir Walter, "that the poems in "Waverley" could fail to suggest their author. No man who ever heard you tell a story over a table but must recognize you at once." To his praise of "Waverley" Mr.
The former character calls on him to plead for the insurgent Spaniards; the latter induces him to palliate the cruelties of the French. Good-even to him until next volume, which I shall long to see. This was a day of pleasure and nothing else. After breakfast I walked with Morritt in the new path he has made up the Tees. When last here, his poor nephew was of the party.
Morritt: "No it was left by Reynolds to Mason, by Mason to Burgh, and given to me by Mr. Burgh's widow." W. Harrison Ainsworth, the author of Rookwood and other popular romances. It is interesting to know that Scott would not read this book until Woodstock was fairly off his hands.
It was the Corporation of Leeds that by a subscription of £80,000 brought in the anti-Catholic candidate. I remember their subscribing a similar sum to bring in Morritt, if he would have stood. Saw in Morritt's possession an original miniature of Milton by Cooper a valuable thing indeed. The pedigree seemed authentic.
She says she has met with much grateful attention from the royal family, and many of the French whom she had formerly known, but cannot give entertainments, because they have not the means. The Count d'Artois apologised; he has no separate dinner always dined with the King, and "very sorry for it." Lady Stafford asked us all to dinner, but we were engaged to Mr. Morritt.
But do people suppose that he was less sorry for his poor sister, or I for my lost fortune? If I have a very strong passion in the world, it is pride, and that never hinged upon world's gear, which was always with me Light come, light go. February 6. Letters received yesterday from Lord Montagu, John Morritt, and Mrs. Hughes kind and dear friends all with solicitous inquiries.
Yours sincerely, S.T. COLERIDGE. "'11 November 1816, Mudford." Life, vol. iv. pp. 397-8. Hinves died in Mr. Rose's service circa 1838, and his master followed him on the 30th April 1843, a few weeks after his friend Morritt. An analysis of these letters was published by Mr. Lockhart in the Life, vol. vi. pp. 346-386. Created Earl of Leicester in 1837.
I resume my task at Abbotsford. We are here alone, except Lockhart, on a flying visit. Morritt, his niece, Sir James Stuart, Skene, and an occasional friend or two, have been my guests since 31st December. I cannot say I have been happy, for the feeling of increasing weakness in my lame leg is a great affliction.
