Enfield 28th. April 1814-
Dear Sir,
The enclosed paper Mrs. Holt White (whom you have heard me mention) desired me to give to you; he said perhaps it might suit your plan to insert it in the Examiner, now that institutions for the education of the poor are so ripe. Do not consider me importunate - but I should be happy to hear from you, if it be but a statement of your health. I suppose I need not ask you if you have heard of the new candidate for the title of Jurruis, Mr. Glover, -- the Author of Leonidas? according to my shallow judgement in such cases, he has a stronger claim to the title than any one who has yet been proposed. A number of collateral circumstances in the little political memoir of himself and now edited by Mr. Duppa, bear apparent by an unintentional evidence to his being the man.

Enfield 28th. April 1814— Dear Sir, The enclosed paper Mrs. Holt White (whom you have heard me mention) desired me to give to you; he said perhaps it might suit your plan to insert it in the Examiner, now that institutions for the education of the poor are so ripe. Do not consider me importunate – but I should be happy to hear from you, if it be but a statement of your health. I suppose I need not ask you if you have heard of the new candidate for the title of Jurruis, Mr. Glover, -- the Author of Leonidas? according to my shallow judgement in such cases, he has a stronger claim to the title than any one who has yet been proposed. A number of collateral circumstances in the little political memoir of himself and now edited by Mr. Duppa, bear apparent by an unintentional evidence to his being the man. This made of giving degrading epithets to those whom he hated are quite in Jurius’s manner. This respect for the talents and general character of Lord Chatham; with the decorous enmity which he bears him on account of some points in this character, may be very fairly adduced as /-/ bearing upon the [?point]. But how I am running on! I forget that I have taken it for granted that you have seen the book –I have just closed it, and am warm in the business, therefore you I know will excuse me. I will take up no more of your time, so impertinently, than assure you once more that I am Dear Sir with every sentiment of respect Your friend Charles Cowden, Clarke. Leigh Hunt Eqsr My respects if you please Sir to Mrs. Hunt. Leigh Hunt Esqr Favoured by Mr. Richards. |
