He commenced his military career with his father in the expedition against the Scovillite Tories, in upper South Carolina, in the autumn of 1775.

It is mainly, no doubt, but I hope not exclusively, an antiquarian interest which attaches to the name of Thomas Nash. It would be absurd to claim for a writer so obscure a very prominent place in the procession of Englishmen of letters.
Paul and the Royal and the Queen's Chapel, whose companies of choir-boy actors were famous in London and rivaled the players of the regular theaters.

I slunk home to Beadle Square when I imagined every one else would be in bed. Mrs Nash met me at the door. "Your friend Smith's gone," she said. "Gone!" I exclaimed. "Where?" "How should I know?

When I rose next morning I was nearly ill with misery and remorse.
... I have made a long journey on the continent, accompanied with a friend of my own age, and with Mr. Nash, the architect, who gave me the drawings of Waterloo.

I am aware that my days, perhaps hours, are numbered, but I do not repine at my fate.
If they find water they are to camp and return for me to-morrow; if not, they are to push on to the Hamilton Spring; if that is gone, they will have to cross the range to Brinkley Bluff.
