Land is. — Would to God he had made his Fortune, & got the
Heimwek; if I knew how to make him hear I would play up the
Ran des backes quickly to him, which has the powerful Effect
of sending every good Swiss home to his Mountains —
By the Date of my letter, you will see that I have been playing truant,
it has been much against my Inclination; & is become doubly so since
the Temptations which you hold out to me between 9 & 3 1/2 between
7 & Midnight. — I beg you not to think that Tea is one of those
Temptations, for tho'
I am very well disposed to cultivate its
Acquaintance, I have ever met with so bad a Return, that I
have been obliged to give it up — The attraction is centred in the
Manufacturer, for whom I have a sincere Predilection, & from whom
I have received met with so obliging Reception as to encourage very much
anthe Renewal of my visits. —
Mr Dobb's Code of Laws followed Your Letter, & as he says
he employed some Months in Composing it, I spent some Minutes
in cussorily reading it; I like his Compendious Way of exposing
his System of Legislation; but we do not start well together, & tho
there may be some Good Ideas, & a great Part of what relates to the
Courts of Justice & to Property may have its advantages, yet I
differ from Him in several of the most important Parts of His Political
or Publick Law. — the Objections which strike me would extend beyond
the Limits of a Letter, but I could not help marking what appears to me
