Baron Masares was an honest fellow who resisted Lord Mansfields
projects for establishing despotism in Canada. He occupied himself
on mathematical calculations to pay the national debt &
a good deal about Canadian affairs. There was a sort of
simplicity about him, which I once quizzed, & then repented
I had not studied the Deontological principle as I have
studied it since.

:In 1788 I belonged to a Club, where we had a frugal supper together – consisting
of Fordyce, John Hunter, Sir Joseph Banks, Solander, Lovell Edgeworth
Mill the architect, Ramsden the Instrument maker, Cummin the watchmaker & we talked over the news – there was nothing of form.
It was rather uncomfortable for me as I could add nothing to the
interest of the Club. Fordyce was a cold, queer beast who when he
introduced me, communicated to nobody his opinion of me, which
was high. He fancied he should see me Master of the Rolls.
When my brother sent me a quantity of stuffed birds from Russia
Hunter fell in love with a huge box & when he had performed
some operation, he took the box as his fee. Mrs Ramsden was
a clever woman, the sister of Dolland. – but coarse & possessed
By Fordyce whose maxim it was that my vain
possess any woman.
