HE peafantry of Eng land, in general, are as honeft and well meaning a fet of people as in the world, if treated with courteous civility, however they may deviate now and then, to gain a Livelihood for their families, from the frict rules of fair dealing; and there is no length they will not go to ferve you, if they are given good words, and fix pence to buy a little ale. This idea truck me very forcibly fome time fince travelling on the road to Southampton; accofting a countryman with, Whole building is that I fee yonder on the hil, my friend? Squire Eye's fummer house, your honour; as good a gentleman as any in the county of Wilts. He lives hard by but he is got in years now, you will fee his houfe prefently; the name of the place is Brickworth, he was formerly a captain in the army! As my acquaintance feemed pretty communicative, and the day was fine, we difcourfed freely together, till, by an unfortunate hint he dropped, I underfood he was bound to the fea-coaft, in hopes of picking up fome run goods, as he was pleated to call it, fo, to make fhort of the matter, I found I was affociating with a fmuggler; however, he fuck clofe, and, as a fecret, gave me to know, he coud fupply me with as good brandy, rum, coffee, or tea, as the best tradelman in the three kingdoms, and at a much cheaper rate. I thanked him for his civility, judging it beft to be on good terms with my fellow-traveller. It was fome time before we gained the fummit; and the view from the fummer-houfe anfwered every expectation, as the profpect is extenfive. It is about eight miles Weft of Romfey, averlooking the New Foreft to Southhampton, and the Ile of Wight, and I think I could difcern the hipping at Spithead. Qo the other, a rich vale of confiderable extent, interfperied with gentlemens feats; at a mall distance appeared a handfome edifice, called Stand:inch, belonging to Mr. Dawkins. Tired with looking, I paced ginly down the hill, el Mr. Evre's manfion appeared in fight; built at the extiémity of a beautiful little park or paddock, with numbers of deer fporung. Upon farther enquiry, I learn. this gentleman was at the memorable battle of Fontenoy, and wounded in that engagement, but has lived for many years retired upon his eftate. His near relation, John Eyre, E'q. has a feat at Landford, not far off on the borders of the Foreft; but, as I recollected a certain Bitish Monarch (William Rufus) met with an untimely fate hereabout, and I had for the fake of variety gone out of the great tract, and taken another road, my heart began to relent, more efpecially as the evening approached, and I perceived numbers of great-coated gentry (not fpeucers), Mr. Urban, with led horfes, and empty facks, palling along. The fea at aft made its appearance, and the Moon, fhining bright upon the water, difcovered, to my great joy, the turrets of Southampton, where I met with a hearty welcome from the landlord of the inn. The town was full of company, Lord Moira's army were encamped in the neighbourhood. ás It is impoffible to pafs through New Foreft, without obferving the amazing ftrength of the horles a though they are of a very diminitive fize, yet five of them will draw a large waggon load of Newcastle coal from Eling, or Redbridge, where it is landed, for twenty miles, and return to their homes, fcarcely fubfifting upon any thing for the time but a little hay. Some are extremely beautiful, of a cream colour; and four, trained to a low phaeton, make a pretty ap pearance. Mr. Hans Stanley, who lived at Paulton's, now the property of Wellbore Ellis (lately created Lord Mendip,) was very inftrumental in making the excellent roads which interfect every part of the New Foreft, fo that, in fummer, parties of pleature are continually traverting 268 Hints for a new Edition of Mr. Pennant's London. [April, At Newhoufe, near Downton, is a feat belonging to Samuel Eyre, E'q. who lives chiefly at Exmouth, in Devonshire. Yours, &c. Q Mr. URBAN, April 6. PERM. Thane, for the liberal man ERMIT me to convey my thanks ner in which he has received my wellmeant advice. I wish it were in my power to make any important communication, or to contribute towards the perfect on of his work; but I am, unfortunately, little acquainted with the country he deferibes, and confequently incompetent to the task of affifting him. His good temper and zealous perseverance must infure him the countenance of every perfon interefted in the local antiquities of our land, and I hope will procure for him all the affiftance and fupport fo arduous an undertaking requires. Since I have taken pen in hand, I must beg your infertion of some remarks on another publication, I mean "Mr. Pennant's London," which I have just finished. It has afforded me much entertainment; but it grieves me, that an author fo well stocked with information fhould have done as he threatened, and comprized London in a nut-fhell. In the courfe of the perufal a few obfervations have occurred, which I hope may be usefully attended to in another edition. 1 with the author could be prevailed upon to revife and correct his ftyle, which is frequently ungrammatical and confined, may fometimes unintelligible. Page 25, 4th edition. The compliment to Ms. Lloyd's needle-work is Jather hyperbolical, and the expreffion Span Murillo improper; as it implies that there was alfo a Femb or an Italian Murillo, which is not the cafe. That painter did not confine himself to ragged boys and beggars, but has left many large pictures on found and hiftorical fubjects as proofs of his genius. 35. I am afraid few foreigners are ftuck with admiration at the entrance into London through St. George's fields. The obfervations concerning God's judgements; in pages 42, 43, 83, and 301, ate unwor.hy of Mr. P. Sunday evening is almoft univerfally a time of diverfion on the Continent, and accidents are not more common on Sunday than on, any other day of the week.. 46. The fign of the red hat had nothing to fay to the Bishop of Winchefter's amours, but was probably fet up as a mark of the jurifdiction, or hung out by fome furler belonging to Cardinal Beaufort. It is not an uncommon fign in Catholic countries; a whole quarter of Bourdeaux is called le chapeau rouge, from the fign of a tavern. 56. The name of the town whence the fliers came, is la Charité. 62. The of before Mellitus fhould be omitted. 66. Cavallini was not the inventor of that fpecies of Mofaic which adorns the fhrine of the Confeffor. It had been employed long before 1256 in feveral monuments ftill exifting in Italy. To decide whether it was introduced by the Saracens or the Greeks of the lower empire would require a difcuffion much too long for this letter. 78. The vulgar name in French for black bafaltes is pierre de touche, Angl. touchflone. So called from its being uled by goldfmiths to rub and affay their gold upon. 80. I am at a lofs to guess what Mr. P. means by the epithet mis-treated, which he applies to William the II1d. As he affixes an epithet, if not two, to every name in the book, it is not furprizing that fome of them fhould be difficult to account for. The word miftreated is fubftituted for the English word illtreated, and may mean, that William was treated in a mistaken ráther than a bad manner. But I cannot make out who it was mij-treated him, Was it Providence, which twisted his fpinal vertebrae or was it England, that fent back his Dutch guards? There is a deficiency in the account of Westminster abbey, as none is given of the towers which are of modern date. 86. Unless thould be put for excepting. 90. Some confufion with the expreffion bis father. 96. Was not the archite&t of Weftmintter bridge a native of Switzerland ? 97. The words this palace require explanation, as no palace is mentioned for ten pages before. 99. A perfon cannot be faid to bave a bad compofition but to be of one. I with all puns and French words, of which we have synonyms in English, were erafed from a future edition. 101. The |
