1. Look out in the Reports—Committee House of Lords for the last seven years—all that is said about the growth of flax—mark the passages for me. 2. Do. do—“Irish Emigration.” 3. Hunt out second volume of Kames’s History of Man, passage containing “Reid’s Logic”—don’t know where the book is! 4. How does the line beginning “Lumina conjurent, inter” something, end? Is it in Gray? See! 5. Fracastorius writes—“Quantum hoc _infecit_ vitium, quot adiverit urbes.” Query, Ought it not to be—_infecerit_ instead of _infecit_?—if you don’t know, write to father. 6. Write the four letters in full from the notes I leave, _i.e._ about the Ecclesiastical Courts. 7. Look out Population Returns—strike average of last five years (between mortality and births), in Devonshire and Lancashire. 8. Answer these six begging-letters; “No”—civilly. 9. The other six, to constituents—“that I have no interest with Government.” 10. See, if you have time, whether any of the new books on the round table are not trash. 11. I want to know ALL about Indian corn! 12. Longinus says something, somewhere, in regret for uncongenial pursuits, (public life, I suppose)—what is it? N.B. Longinus is not in my London Catalogue, but is here I know—I think in a box in the lumber-room. 13. Set right the calculation I leave on the poor-rates. I have made a blunder somewhere. &c. &c. Certainly my father knew Mr Trevanion; he never expected a secretary to sleep! To have all the above ready by half-past nine, I get up by candle-light. At half-past nine I am still hunting for Longinus, when Mr Trevanion comes in with a bundle of letters.
