SEPTEMBER 19.
We made haste away from a place, where all were offended. In the way we visited the Leasowes. It was rain, yet we visited all the waterfalls. There are, in one place, fourteen falls in a short line. It is the next place to Ham Gardens. Poor Shenstone never tasted his pension. It is not very well proved that any pension was obtained for him. I am afraid that he died of misery.
We came to Birmingham, and I sent for Wheeler, whom I found well.
SEPTEMBER 20.
We breakfasted with Wheeler, and visited the manufacture of Papier Maché. The paper which they use is smooth whited brown; the varnish is polished with rotten stone. Wheeler gave me a tea-board. We then went to Boulton’s, who, with great civility, led us through his shops. I could not distinctly see his enginery.
Twelve dozen of buttons for three shillings. Spoons struck at once.
SEPTEMBER 21.
Wheeler came to us again.
We came easily to Woodstock.
SEPTEMBER 22.
We saw Blenheim and Woodstock Park. The Park contains two thousand five hundred acres; about four square miles. It has red deer. Mr. Bryant shewed me the Library with great civility. Durandi Rationale, 1459. Lascaris’ Grammar of the first edition, well printed, but much less than later editions. The first Batrachomyomachia.
The Duke sent Mr. Thrale partridges and fruit.
At night we came to Oxford.
SEPTEMBER 23.
We visited Mr. Coulson. The Ladies wandered about the University.
SEPTEMBER 24.
We dine with Mr. Coulson. Vansittart told me his distemper.
Afterwards we were at Burke’s, where we heard of the dissolution of the Parliament. We went home.
Volume VI. Addenda, Index, Dicta Philosophi, etc.
TITLES OF MANY OF THE WORKS QUOTED IN THE NOTES.
In my notes I have often given but brief references to the authors whom I quote. The following list, which is not, however, so complete as I could wish, will, I hope, do much towards supplying the deficiency. Most of the poets, and a few of the prose writers also, I have not found it needful to include, as my references apply equally well to all editions of their works. The date in each case shows, not the year of the original publication, but of the edition to which I have referred.
