When it is out at last, two copies of it in
the original will go to the two . Sambuca
the Neopolitan Prime Minister of whom
Poli gives so high a character, understands English
perfectly. The Marquis Caracivole, who was
so many years Ambassador here, and Poli
and other people say was excessively fond of the
English, & by the Gazette is lately made
Vice-Roy of Sicily.
I have a charming book in French
printed at Brussels) containing a chronological abridgment of the
laws made by the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
He or his Minister <gap/. in both must
certainly be men of most excellent talents &
most admirable public spirit. Him and Sambuca<lb/. I propose asking for a copy of their laws. I should
imagine the request would be as great a compliment
as the I send them. The letters
to all these people are all but finished, but I
shall not have spirits enough I fear to put the
last hand to them till after I have got over
my present difficulties.
Sunday Aug. 6th
Baron Podinaniczski set off a few days
ago for Paris by way of Ostende. During the
summer two or three last months he had been looking pretty near such a
tour as Offenberg. Schonberg the Saxon Count
& Dr Koevaer his tutor set off this day. Schonberg
was a pretty lad, though but a stripling
so that I did not think it worth while to
pay much attention to him. Were I ever to
visit Germany all these people would be of considerable
use to me. Podinaniczski was latterly
very assiduous in his visits, talked about
friendship & proposed keeping up a correspondence.
