more than life itself". The next subject dealt with,
is of course, a lover's quarrel. Here another style is
used especially if the lover wishes to break off the
alliance. In this case he writes that „though his
understanding may be doubted and his penetration
insulted, she shall find the latter capable of discer-
ning deceit, and the former of resenting insolence."
But if he wishes to continue the engagement, yet
feels doubtful of her feelings towards him, he despairs
and writes, „Have I not loved! Yes, cruel beauty,
doated to distraction! Then why use me thus ?" But
Avhen all these troubles are overcome and it has been
proved that they doat on one another to distraction,
even at the last moment her heart fails her and she
indites a hasty „note" to some confidential, to know
if she thinks that they have unity of states which
„will make married life happy", which the friend
answers by writing that „they are both admirably
suited to adorn the connubial dwelling". In this case
we leave them as they don't appear again in the -
Complete Letter Writer. Next, we come to hints on
dress. The first point is the form of the person to
be attired and then the disposition of the drapers
best adapted to that form. But, perhaps, the gem
is a letter to a friend in bodily sickness. We must
quote a few lines: „I hope that in spite of your pre-
sent lamented prostration, your peace of mind has not
forsaken you, and that, while you are thus afflicted,
you may thank a merciful Providence for having
given to you this trial for your ultimate good, and
we hope recovery". To this there does not appear
any answer from the sick one. Finally let us turn
to the Letters of the young „Idea". We find Macaulay
at the age of thirteen „asking for leave to come on
his birthday to that home which absence renders
still dearer". If father's approbation of his request
depends on his advancing in study, he will work
like a cart-horse". Dr. Grimstone hardly beats that
in his dictated letter in „Vice Versa" in which the
pupils inform their parents that „they propose to
thoroughly master the first Book of Vergil's magnificent
epic: need they say they refer to the soul-moving
