Nor is it possible to suggest any reason why the authorities of this remote place should have applied to Handel for a composition. According to Mainwaring, Handel stayed six weeks at Aix; the London papers announced his return on November 7, 1737.
Numerous coaches of different rates of charge, and as many packets, are perpetually passing and repassing betwixt the capital of Britain and her northern sister, so that the most timid or indolent may execute such a journey upon a few hours' notice. But it was different in 1737.
If we are to follow the biographer the whole way, we must not only unhang the dog, but give him sepulture amongst the sceptred Sovereigns who rule us from their urns. Thomas Paine was born at Thetford, in Norfolk, in January, 1737, and sailed for America in 1774, then being thirty-seven years of age. Up to this date he was a rank failure.
At last, in May, 1737, Eustace Budgell filled his pockets with stones, hired a boat, and drowned himself by jumping from it as it passed under London Bridge. There was left on his writing-table at home a slip of paper upon which he had written, 'of the Works of Lucian, translated from the Greek by several Eminent Hands, 1711. The dialogue is in Vol. III, pp. 402 432, translated 'by Mr. No. 68.
Baths are called Hummums in the East, and thence these hotels in Covent Garden, where there were baths, were called by that name. Beauclerk. Bolingbroke. Ante, ii. 246. Lord Clive. Ante, p. 334. Hamlet, act i. sc. 2. Johnson, or Boswell in reporting him, here falls into an error. Mag. for July, 1737, p. 409, nine months before his first contribution to that paper.
But it seems quite possible that Fielding and his wife went down to their small estate in Dorsetshire for part or all of the summer, autumn and winter of both 1736 and 1737.
I was born at Putney, in the county of Surrey, April 27, in the year 1737, the first child of the marriage of Edward Gibbon, Esq., and Jane Porten. From my birth I have enjoyed the right of primogeniture; but I was succeeded by five brothers and one sister, all of whom were snatched away in their infancy.
These Gardens were entered through the tavern above mentioned, and were opened before 1737; up to that date the public had free access, but afterwards were admitted only on payment of one shilling, for which, however, they received an equivalent of "tea before eight o'clock," or "half a pint of wine during the concert."
15 How solemn the thought there is but little wheat in comparison with all the grass and vegetable produce of the earth; and in the harvest how much chaff and straw, which grew with the wheat, will be cast out! Well may it be said, Look to it, professors. Ed. 16 The word "faith" was changed in 1737 for "repentance," which has been continued in subsequent editions; "faith" is right.
He continued, though soon with less enthusiasm, and in the end very rarely, a visitor of Friedrich's during this Reinsberg time. Patriotic English readers may as well take the few remaining vestiges, too, before quite dismissing him to Sleepy Hollow. Here they are, swept accurately together, from that Correspondence of Friedrich with Papa: "REINSBERG, 1st FEBRUARY, 1737."
