5) Book on Sweden
23
"Memoirs pour servir a la connaisance des affairs
"politiques & economiqyes du Royaume de Suede jusqu'a
"la fin de la 1775eme 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 <add> in short</add. all the articles in Mrs Ramsden's last
Bill except Lindegreen's Curvator: I send you here<lb/. 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 strop with one razor. 7. 1 box of tooth-powder;
8. Lind's pamphlet Wilkins "secret & swift messenger"</P
---page break---
27
(This was written before the invention of flags)
8. his tip with an account of his book in
an universal language (it is extra in folio)
28
1. Things from I have forgot, I very
likely you may not have them the hat
nor any thing from Plymouth.
29
Perhaps I may put up some scraps of
the draught of a memorial I drew
up for Champagne (<sic>Ald. Clark's friend)
the object of which was to pr bring about
a direct trade between him &
some Russian Mini-Proprietor for iron.<lb/. 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 <foreign> Je serais charmé<foreign>
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<lb?> 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.

Cloaths
The cut buttons require a rattan
with their brown or glossy blue for instance or all
colours
