"I have just had the pleasure of reading an effusion of yours to my address, I believe an effusion intended to rhyme. So so you despise me, Master Gigadibs, do you?
Letter III. gives utterance to a genuine alarm inspired by Bonaparte's uninterrupted progress. England is confronted by the most formidable adversary whom she has ever known, and her defence is entrusted to Canning and Perceval.

However, since they are here your Majesty cannot do better than sign their death-warrant.
Good hymns every one of them, in that day, or in any day. Having no slate he did his "sums" in the sand on the ground, or on a wooden shovel which, after it was covered on both sides, he scraped down so as to erase the work. A note-book is preserved, containing, along with examples in arithmetic, this boyish doggerel: Abraham Lincoln his hand and pen he will be good but god knows When.
"And if I saw them doing nothing, while the country was asking for MEN, but writing rotten doggerel and messing about with girls far beneath them in station, I should call them the damnedest skunks unskinned!" He had the decency to rise. "Major Meredyth," said he, "you're under a terrible misapprehension. You're a military man and must look at everything from a military point of view.
