Batavia has been so very well and so fully described in Captain Cook's first voyage, that any attempt of mine to describe this vast and splendid settlement may be deemed superfluous; however, as these pages may probably fall into the hands of some who have read no other account, I shall subjoin what few remarks occurred to me during my stay there.
With sincere respect, your friend, Major Smith's receipt to me, for the arms and property belonging both to the seminary and to the arsenal, is dated February 19, 1861. I subjoin also, in this connection, copies of one or two papers that may prove of interest BATON ROUGE, January 28, 1881. To Major SHERMAN, Superintendent, Alexandria.
I here subjoin for their consideration, an imaginary extract of the sort which, by their eager patronage of the "Eclipse of Faith," they are inviting against themselves. Extract. I say, Fellowes! Rogers would be much hurt to bear you class him with Parker. Does not Mr. Rogers believe the Old Testament inspired and all of it true? Newman for trying to discriminate its chaff from its wheat.
My father and mother were absent, at Lady H.'s, when my marriage was fixed; to both of them I wrote for their approbation of my choice. From Lady Frances I received the answer which I subjoin: "My dearest Son, "Your father desires me to add his congratulations to mine, upon the election you have made. I shall hasten to London, to be present at the ceremony.
As a supplement to the interesting communication of Dr. Parr, I shall here subjoin an extract from a letter which the eldest sister of Sheridan, Mrs. E. Lefanu, wrote a few months after his death to Mrs. Sheridan, in consequence of a wish expressed by the latter that Mrs. Lefanu would communicate such particulars as she remembered of his early days.
The air was an ancient Gaelic melody, and the words, which were supposed to be very old, were in the same language; but we subjoin a translation of them, by Secundus Macpherson, Esq. of Glenforgen, which, although submitted to the fetters of English rhythm, we trust will be found nearly as genuine as the version of Ossian by his celebrated namesake.
I can find fault, replied I, with no part of the discourse, yet I would subjoin, that this custom is an instruction for kindness and good-will.
Your Lordship's Most obedient and humble servant, ROBERT HESKETH, His Britannic Majesty's Consul. To the Right Hon. Lord Cochrane, Marquis of Maranhaõ, Admiral, &c. &c. The letter of the French Consul is even more precise, and therefore I subjoin that also: Vice Consulate of France at S. Louis de Maragnon, Monsieur le Marquis, Dec. 4, 1821.
It may be well to subjoin an opinion, which I believe is general in this place, viz., that he is a young man of the strictest probity and morals, discreet without closeness, temperate without excess, and modest without vanity; possessed of those amiable qualities and friendship which are so commendable, and with few of the vices of the age.
I have thought it worth while to subjoin for comparison Thackeray's wonderful pastiche in The Virginians, which is almost better Horace than Horace himself. ARLINGTON STREET, April 31. 1773
