Mrs. Barbauld omits this letter but prints another from Hill to Richardson, not to be found now in the Forster collection, bearing the same date -- December 29, 1740 (I, 56ff.). This letter furnishes the “_delightful Story, so admirably related_” beginning on page xxxi. From the second paragraph on (“We have a lively little Boy in the Family”), the _Pamela_ text is substantially the same as Barbauld’s. But the first paragraph Richardson has contrived to suit his editorial fiction. The delightful story so gratified Mr. Richardson that he sent lively little Harry Campbell (“the dear amiable boy”) two books, an event almost enough to finish him: Out burst a hundred _O Lords!_ in a torrent of voice rendered hoarse and half choaked by his passions. He clasped his trembling fingers together; and his hands were strained hard, and held writhing. His elbows were extended to the height of his shoulders, and his eyes, all inflamed with delight, turned incessantly round from one side, and one friend, to the other, scattering his triumphant ideas among us. His fairy-face (ears and all) was flushed as red as his lips; and his flying feet told his joy to the floor, in a wild and stamping impatience of gratitude.[12] The only other part of the introduction to _Pamela_ elsewhere in print is the concluding poem. This, too, is Hill’s, printed in _The Weekly Miscellany_, February 28, 1741, along with his December 17 letter, and collected with Hill’s _Works_ (III, 348-350). This is the poem, it would seem, of which Hill boasts that he has given “Pamela” a short “e” as Richardson intended, asserting that “Mr. Pope has taught half the women in England to pronounce it wrong.”[13] Pope in his _Epistle to Miss Blount_ (line 49), had made the “e” long: The gods, to curse Pamela with her prayers, Gave the gilt coach and dappled Flanders mares, The shining robes, rich jewels, beds of state, And, to complete her bliss, a fool for mate. Hill’s lines are somewhat less successful. He dedicated them to “the Unknown Author of _Pamela_” two months after Richardson had confessed his authorship. Richardson changes one line in the poem. In Hill’s _Works_ it reads: “Whence _public wealth_ derives its vital course.” Richardson, a more modern man perhaps, reads “_public Health_.” His emendation, however, improves Hill’s metaphor concerning a blaze which is a pilot pointing out the source of public wealth, which is drunk to prevent gangrene from blackening to the bone. Further reflection led Richardson a year later to change “vital” to “moral.”
