College are both are both as one; each consisting chiefly
of Winchester Men.
I have begun this week to work hard at Herodotus,
and I read every day 10 pages at least, that
I may finish this week the book I have begun, which
is the longest of all by much: henceforward I shall be
able I hope to do a book every week; by which means I
shall have read the whole by June; I forget whether I
told you in my last, that there are 9 books, bearing the
names of the 9 Muses. the 1st Clio, the 2d Euterpe, the
3d Thalia, the
4th Melpomene, the 5th Terpsichore, the 6th
Polyhymnia, the 8th Urania, and the 9th Calliope.
Pray give my duty to my Grandmama and love
to depoor dear Sammy; I was in hopes of hearing how
he did before now, but I hope you will let me know
soon, which will give great pleasure to
Your dutiful and
affectionate Son
J. Bentham.
I have enclosed my last
Saturday's exercise, hoping
it may afford you some
entertainment.
