I saw Nairne today. He said he would send me an
account of the glasses with their prices as soon as
he could find his minutes which are at Hampstead.

Monday 27th Sept. 4 Dutch Mails are come in today,
and I am waiting with impatience for a letter.
If no commands of your honour's come to detain
me, I shall go to Brompton tomorrow.

I have got a general Index: 3 leaves to a letter.
Remember as often as you have occasion to recommence
the paging of a subject, do it by prefixing 100 — instead
of Inserenda. This saves the word Inserenda in
references, & enables you to change the paging toties
quoties. Thus I have "Pleasures & Pains" so 1, 2 &c
101, 102 &c. 201, 202, &c

Bibliotheca Navalis I have found, but cannot
copy now on account of my eyes.

Mrs Mann left Q.S.P. at 9 o'clock, & no
letters yet. As there are 4 Dutch Mails come in
together, I am in hopes the case is the letters are
not yet deliverd — If you have let 4 mails pass
without writing what tortures are bad enough for
you? I have been writing to tell them I shan't
go to Brompton tomorrow.
38.
Q.S.P. I should have told you was much delighted
with your letters; with the minuteness & so
forth of your observations: better humour mortal
can not be in; although he complains of the gout
flying about him. I have made my eyes start
out of my head tother day writing him a long
letter to the amuse him. This good humour too
was before he had seen your Amsterdam letter:
which I hope has not contributed to lessen it.

I have settled the doctrine of "Motives" charmingly.
Give that of "Dispositions" People's intentions, motives
and dispositions will now be as clear as
the dawn at noon-day.

"Relation de la derniere Revolution de en Suede dans
une lettre a un Noble de Venise — pas l'Abbé Micheless"
SgrRaspi [L'Auteur fut present & y cest
quelque part] Enquire about this & get it for me if
you can. Nobody knows any thing of it here.

Tuesday Sept. 28.
Just received your letter dated Friday 17th I am vext
to think of your disappointment at not hearing from me
but you will know the cause.
45
I have got the Diamond from Blamore's: and I
hope to get the Bibliotheca Navalis copied.
46
I believe I shall put you up a book or two on
surveying.

Ingenhous is coming out with something in
English about Airs & evaporation: & at the end of
it will be a short account of Fontina's apparatus.
48
Fontina called on me to t'other day with Schwide
we are afraid of losing him next month

Swede is translating into French out of German a capital book
of Schiele's the Swedish Chemist about the constituent
parts of fire & other things. It seems to promise
much.

My next I shall probably direct to Ban Klop.
