order of execution, because the chiefest in point of utility, though the
last in Payne's and Euclid's, in short in every body's order of
tradition is the first that he begins with: it contains all Payne's Problems
in the Mensuration: which by an example or two I shall I believe
make Jack convert into Theorems, as being shorter — and now I
am going to do a little Paper currency: from all which you will
understand that yesterday's intellectual impotence is pretty well gone
off, as I had the honour of promising you it would.
Miss. F. has replaced Chinnery perfectly in favour, by shewing
me some very good writing of her son's as I call him who learnt
of him — but that's nothing at all — I should have said by
telling me how she had learnt of him and found him the only
one of a multitude of great masters who taught by rule, he
having in short mounted a system about the matter which
is more perhaps than even the great Smyrnoff has done
not withstanding his specimens extracted from Russian paws by
spirit of stick. Chinnery it seems neither wants for genius
nor for communicativeness, only there is reason for thinking that the
evening which the time has fallen to Jack's share, is not the time in which
it develops itself to most advantage. The thing I am this moment longing
for, as if I were with child is the dear dying book: and that after a
struggle, & determined to leave with Upsal for Miss F.
