an intelligent well bred young gentle woman of about 25, who to the theoretical mind
of having imbibed sound chemical principles from his uncle, adds the practical
requisite of having been born & bred in a Cheshire Dairy. You will say
that is doing this business but by halves: true: but it would be more than
half done, & if I could get her regenerated in Wiltshire. Now how to
bring about this good wish? of my self you know I can do nothing: I can pretend to the
art of regeneration I can no more pretend have make no more pretension no more than to its simple pronounce prototype. But you, my venerable friend
are alike an adept in both: the one is last your pastime is, and the first, the other is your trade.
Now then how shall I contrive to pay you: for every one must live
by his trade: and yours is not a norm of those which people are men are wont to live
the worst by. I won't pretend to picq you by rub it into your binds. Don't be wicked now, & think that I mean to propose to you
to pay yourself by intermixing upon the occasion kaming the of your pastime with status your trade: that would
be entailing you of a syllable, without making you a jot the richer:
besides that my commission does not extend quite so far: and I question who sacred as the precedent
is, it is possible she might have his samples about acting this she would not the part of Ruth, though you were to be her Booz:
I mean to pay you more not literally in your own coin. Pewsy,
I am told, or the near neighbourhood of it is a second Canaan; don't
be angry. i speak of its produce, not of ist inhabitants. The ditches instead
of mud are filled with milk: and the foot paths instead of gravel
are cared with Cheese. You must can not but know plenty of your is of their commerce who out of Christian Charity charity aided by the moderate application
of a more substantial motive would undertake this pious work.
The process would need not take up above a week: and any recompense
you though adequate, two or three guineas would be cheerfully
bestow'd.. But what you will say, is become of the Livites there, you'll say, all
