Book on Sweden

"Memoirs pour servir a la connaisance des affairs
"politiques & economiques du Royaume de Suede jusqu'a
"la fin de la 1775me année. A Londres (false title)
"1776. & se trouve a Dresde, chez George Conrad
Walker." 2 Vol petit in 4to pp. 43i A most simple and particular account of
the present state of Sweden. I got it yesterday at
Elmsley's. It is a perfect treasure. An I would have sent
it you; but that you may certainly meet with it
at Hamburgh or elsewhere. Emsley says it was prohibited
at Stockholm: probably he is mistaken; as there
the Press is or at least professes to be free. The Société Typographique
has sold 6 copies: one to Ct Malzaher, the
Prussian Amb.r here. The Author in his dedication signs
himself I.G.C. Make yourself perfect master of so
much as relates to the Marine; perfect it, I continue
it down to the present time. You must have it before now
you immediately, without regard to the time of your
going to Sweden; on account of its' usefulness as
a pump.
24
Mears has written to me to return him his
Masting book. I forget how it was disposed of.
If you should have it, you must return it by
the first opportunity.
25
Besides the 2 Mahogany Curvators you mentioned,
one for yourself, the other for Lindegreen
Mrs Ramsden has sent a Brass
one. This I know nothing of — I fear there
may have been some mistake; she supposing
you to have ordered what you did not. However
I have thought it best to send it you.
If you are sure you did not order it, you
must send it back.
26
I shall send tomorrow the following things,
for you in a box directed to you at Mr Hanbury's:
1st 1 Brass Curvator. 2. 1 Mahogany
do and in short all the articles in Mrs Ramsden's last
Bill except Lindegreen's Curvator: I send you here
two Bills: (you will see what a sum!) 3. Your cypher
Seal. 4. 10 cakes of patent blacking at
6d each. 5. Your own Swordhook &c. 6. Your
razor strap with one razor. 7. 1 box of tooth-powder;
8. Lind's pamphlet. Wilkins "secret & swift messenger"
---page break---
27
(This was written before the invention of flags)
8. his tip with an account of his book on
an universal language (it is extant in folio)
28
1. Things from Blasmares I have forgot, & very
likely you may not have them — No hat
nor any thing from Plymouth.
29
Perhaps I may put up some scraps of
the rought draught of a memorial I drew
up for Champagne (Ald. Clark's friend)
the object of which was to pr bring about
a direct trade between him &
some Russian Mini-Proprietor for Iron.
They are imperfect & not worth keeping.
30
Swede has got a catalogue of all the
books printed in Germany in the course
of this year. There are 2 for every year
which are distributed as he says among the
trade (Booksellers) only ) at the Book Fairs
of Frankfurt I Je serais charmé
to take them in: but he makes a great mystery
about it (as he does indeed about everything)
& says they are not to be had
love or money — that he has them is particular
favour. Now if he were always
to have them it would be well — but as his
stay is so uncertain I should be glad to take
them in. Furthermore I should like to have
them for a good way back — suppose from
the year 1760. They are thinnish pamphlets
in small 4to. Abundance of translations
of English — There is a possibility of
the Fragments' being among them — look from
the year 1776 or 77 They are in alphabetical
order — several articles begin with the word
"Fragment" which is germanised
My eyes are bad just
now — hence I write
so bad.
31.
Mind you don't let Hamburg lose any thing
in postage of letters &c. Take measures for
his sending things after you all over the
Baltic. By that means you may have
things in winter.
32
Cloaths
The cut steel buttons require a rattan
with them — brown or glossy blue for instance or ash
colour
