Matthew's sister was unmarried at this date, and lived within the range of that stern paternal eye. Matthew's letter appears to me to have been written in reply to some solemn warning from Ruth. "April 12, 1743. Sure, my dear sister cannot think me so baise a retch as to injoore a pore simpel girl hoo confides in me as ye best and trooest of mortals, wich for her dere saik I will strive to be.

During these Winter months of 1743, and still more through Summer 1744, there are important War-movements going on, the French vehemently active again, the Austrians nothing behindhand, which will require some slight notice from us soon.
But on the Diplomatic side, there were two somethings, CONFERENCES AT HANAU with poor Kaiser Karl, and TREATY AT WORMS with the King of Sardinia; which as minus quantities, or things less than nothing turned out to be highly considerable for his Britannic Majesty and us. HANAU, 7th July-1st AUGUST, 1743.
Take this other symbolic passage, of nearly the same date; posterior, as we guessed, to that Interview at Wolnzach. "DINGELFINGEN, 17th MAY, 1743. At Dingelfingen on the Iser, a strongish central post of the French, about fifty miles farther down than that Schloss of Wolnzach, there is a second argument, much corroborative of the Kaiser's reasoning.
His son William, who was born in 1632, was probably also a native of England. He married Sarah Thomas in 1658, and died in 1689. Thomas Wilmot, his son, was born in 1679. He married Mary Lines, and their son Ezekiel was born in 1708. Ezekiel Wilmot and his wife Beulah were the parents of Lemuel, who was born in 1743.
Probably the most curious anomaly of teeth is that in which they are found in other than normal positions. Albinus speaks of teeth in the nose and orbit; Borellus, in the palate; Fabricius Hildanus, under the tongue; Schenck, from the palate; and there are many similar modern records.

Hume cannot give any reason for the incapacity and want of genius, civil and military, which marks this period. Ib. p. 503. See Dr. Johnson, His Friends, &c., p. 252. It was published in 1743. I am sorry that there are no memoirs of the Reverend Robert Blair, the author of this poem.
The success was so great that a second performance was announced. Ladies were requested to come without crinoline, thereby providing a hundred more seats than at the first event. The Irish people were so cordial, that the composer remained almost a year among them. For it was not till March 23, 1743, that the "Messiah" was performed in London. The King was one of the great audience who heard it.
The title of Portsmouth was given, in 1673, for her life, to the celebrated Louise de Querouaille, and becoming extinct with her, was, in 1743, conferred upon John Wallop, Viscount Lymington, the ancestor of the present Earl of Portsmouth. Home, with my mind pretty quiet: not returning, as I said I would, to see the bride put to bed. 11th.
