Here am I still and I begin to think I shall never
get away. No summons yet from Lubec: but
people say the Vessel must sail on Saturday.
We have had fair winds for this week past and
if should turn contrary I must go by land at
last which will be terrible. Am I to be thus
always out of luck in water carriage conveyance?
I sent you a letter last post I believe without a date,
it was Fryday 15th.
2
I gave you a list of some law books in my last,
they were what Norrmann and Dr Matson particularly
recommended. There were 2 or 3 which I omitted.
De singularibus quibusdem & antiquis in Germania
Juribus & observatis.
Der Staadt Hamburgh gerichts ordnung und
statuta. 1603.
Statuta und Stadt recht der stadt Lubeck. 1600.
The last 2 come under the description of the books
which were noted in my "Aquirenda": but as there
were many which I was doubtfull whether you would
wish to have or not I have not (I think) ordered
them for you. The books I shall send you
by the first opportunity will be chiefly such only by
which you may determine what others you would
wish to have.

A direction given to the Judge in the Schwaben-
Spiegel is that "he shall sit in his chair with a
countenance like a fierce lion, and his legs across".
4.
I dont know whether I told you in any of my
letters from Amsterdam, how much I admired
the very great parade & ceremony with which the
executions of criminals were said to be conducted.
