Rome will furnish you with business enough of that sort; but then it furnishes you with many other objects well deserving your attention, such as deep ecclesiastical craft and policy. Adieu. LONDON, April 27, O. S. 1749. DEAR BOY: I have received your letter from Vienna, of the 19th N. S., which gives me great uneasiness upon Mr. Harte's account.
Do not mistake, and imagine that while I am only exposing a prejudice, I am speaking in favor of arbitrary power; which from my soul I abhor, and look upon as a gross and criminal violation of the natural rights of mankind. Adieu. LONDON, February 28, O. S. 1749.
Lambert, ah, Tibullus never did the like of them. And it went, alas, it went to all lengths, mentionable and not mentionable: and M. le Marquis had to be coaxed home in the Spring of 1749, still earlier it had been suitabler; and in September ensuing, M. de St. Lambert looking his demurest, there is an important lying-in to be transacted!
Yet another of Fielding's rare letters belongs to this year; a letter conveying his formal congratulations to Lyttelton, on that model statesman's second marriage, and in which his warm heart again makes application, not on behalf of his own scanty means, but for a friend. "Bow Street, Aug't 29, 1749. "Sir,
And among the same archives the dusty Oath Roll is preserved, bearing, under date of April 5, 1749, the signature of Henry ffielding to a declaration of disbelief in the doctrine of Transubstantiation; a comprehensive oath of faithful service to King George and abjuration of King James; an oath directed against the power of the Holy See; and an oath of true allegiance to King George.
Better had he been 'where the wind blows over seven glens, and seven Bens, and seven mountain moors, like the Prince in the Gaelic fairy stories. We return to details. On June 30, 1749, the Prince, still homeless, writes a curious letter to Mademoiselle Ferrand: 'The confidence, Mademoiselle, which I propose to place in you may seem singular, as I have not the good fortune to know you.
Edinburgh, 1749. By Thomas Willis, M.D. It was published in 1672. 'In this work he maintains that the soul of brutes is like the vital principle in man, that it is corporeal in its nature and perishes with the body. Although the book was dedicated to the Archbishop of Canterbury, his orthodoxy, a matter that Willis regarded much, was called in question. Knight's Eng. Cyclo. vi. 741.
Aim at least at the perfection of everything that is worth doing at all; and you will come nearer it than you would imagine; but those always crawl infinitely short of it whose aim is only mediocrity. Adieu. P. S. By an uncommon diligence of the post, I have this moment received yours of the 9th, N. S. LONDON, October 24, O. S. 1749.
This spire and the masonry of the tower caused great anxiety at the end of the seventeenth century, but with some not very considerable repairs then, and some slight ones later, lasted until 1749. Its height was 156 feet, but the authorities for its form do not at all agree. It is given a very uncommon shape in the north prospect by Daniel King, reproduced on p. 14.
A second edition of the Miscellanies appeared in the same year as the first, namely in 1743. From this date until the publication of Tom Jones in 1749, Fielding produced no work of signal importance, and his personal history for the next few years is exceedingly obscure. We are inclined to suspect that this must have been the most trying period of his career.
