Hon Sir
Since my last I find that a formality observed in the
College will retard my taking my degree sometime longer: next
Sunday is appointed for our taking the Sacrament; & it seems that
days before & as many after, there is never any business done
in the halls so that I cannot read during that time the two lectures
that remain for me to read. That will delay me 'till Wednesday in
next week, & Thursday & Saturday are days on which declarations
are spoken: Friday then being the only day in next week on which I
can read my lectures, I shall not have finished them 'till the Monday
after. It will then be uncertain on what day a Convocation will be
held by which degrees are conferred. On Monday next Mr Hornsby
will begin his course of Natural Philosophy: he has it seems made
several improvements & additions to this course, which will render
it completer than any of the former ones, either of his own or his
predecessors: if it meets with your approbation, I should like extremely
to attend: as I should hope to make much more advantage of it
now, than I could at the time I attended before. I went then, I must
confess, chiefly to see the pretty things: I should now go with other views.
