Monday Nov. 27. 1780
<p. I can now tell you for certain that Schiller
will translate Introd. at any rate; which I hope notwithstanding
the pother you keep making about
French will be no bad news to you. I believe
I told you in my last (which was sent I
think on Friday 17th inst. ) (on the Thursday before) that he had written
to two Booksellers, & that he thought it would
be very extraordinary if neither of them accepted
it. He was to have been with me on Thursday
16th or Sat:y 18 to deliver me a specimen
which he wished me to shew to Raig:r
or any friends of mine who understood the language:
on the Saturday he sent an excuse: but
the next Monday (this day sennight) he
came. He said he had done three sheets; but
had copied out only what he brought me —
was a more than . I told you before
I believe that I had given him a general notice
of my plans for it, looking upon
him as a man to be relied upon, and considering that he was trusting so much to me.
I told him about presenting, though I did not
talk to him about the consequences; however
he certainly thought then as we each of
us cited examples of persons who had been
or had been going, on that plan. I thought
these things would be of great use as &
I did not see how his having them in his hand
could do any harm: besides he promised secrecy,
which indeed there does not seem to be
any means of his violating were he so disposed:
he is the dearest of all obscure devils,
& in particular he has no connections with
any such quarter as you cautioned me against.
