I am sorry that I am in no better a condition to + acquit my self of my Promise to you. My Recovery has been so slow, that I + am scarce yet got up: and I have been unable to hold any Correspondance + with my Friends in Town. Mr. King promisd to send me the Papers I + mention'd to you of Mr. Lock's; who, it seems, had begun some Memoires of + his own relating to my G<sup>d</sup> Father. These however imperfect, yet + as being Mr. Lock's own I should have been glad to send you with what + supplement I could make myself: But Mr. King's Engagements in the Publick + affaires has made him delay this so long, that according to the account + you have given me of the shortness of your Time, I must wayt no longer: + but content my self with giving you what I can out of my own head, + without other Assistance.</p> + + <p>"Mr. Lock came into my Grandfathers Family in the summer of the year + 1666, recommended by his Friend<a name="footnotetag1" + href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> Mr. Bennet of y<sup>e</sup> town of + Shaftesbury. The occasion of it was thus. My Grandfather had been ill for + a great while after a Fall, by w<sup>ch</sup> his Breast was so bruised + that in time it came to an Imposthumation (?) within, and appeard by a + swelling under his stomach. Mr. Lock was at that time a student in + Physick at Oxford: and my Grandfather taking a journey that way to drink + the Waters (having Mr. Bennett in y<sup>e</sup> Coach with him), He had + this young Physician presented to him: who tho' he had never practic'd + Physick; yet appear'd to my Grandfather to be such a Genius that he + valew'd him above all his other Physicians, the great men in practice of + those times. Accordingly on his advice and allmost solely by his + Direction my G<sup>d</sup> Father underwent an Operation w<sup>ch</sup> + sav'd his Life, and was the most wonderfull of the kind that had been + heard of, till that time. His Breast was layd open, the matter + discharg'd, and an Orifice ever afterwards kept open by a silver pipe: an + Instrument famouse <!-- Page 98 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page98"></a>{98}</span>upon Record, in the Writings our Popish and + Jacobite Authors, who never faild to reproach him with this + Infirmity.</p> + + <p>"After this Cure, Mr. Lock grew so much in esteem with my Grand-Father + that as great a Man as he had experienc'd him in Physick; he look'd upon + this but as his least part. He encourag'd him to turn his Thoughts + another way. Nor would he suffer him to practice Physick except in his + own Family and as a kindness to some particular Friend. He put him upon + the studdy of the Religiouse and Civil affaires of the Nation with + whatsoever related to the Business of a Minister of State: in + w<sup>ch</sup> he was so successfull, that my G<sup>d</sup> Father begun + soon to use him as a Friend, and consult with him on all occasions of + that kind. He was not only with him in his Library and Closet, but in + company with the Great Men of those times, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord + Hallifax and others, who being men of Witt and Learning, were as much + taken with him. For together with his seriouse, respectfull and humble + Character, he had a mixture of Pleasantry and a becoming Boldness of + Speech. The Liberty he could take with these great Men was peculiar to + such a Genius as his. A pleasant Instance of it runs in my Mind: tho' + perhaps the relation of it may not be so pleasing to another.</p> + + <p>"At an appointed Meeting of two or three of these Great-Men at my + G<sup>d</sup> Father's House, more for Entertainment and good company + than for Business, it happen'd that after a few Compliments the Cards + were called for, and the Court-Fashion prevailing, they were engag'd in + Play before any Conversation was begun. Mr. Lock sate by as a spectator + for some time. At least taking out his Table-Book, he began to write + something very busily: till being observd by one of the Lords, and ask'd + what he was meditating; My Lords (sayd he) I am improving my self the + best I can in your Company: for, having impatiently wayted this Honour of + being present at such a meeting of the wisest Men and greatest Witts of + the Age, I thought I could not do better than to write your Conversation: + and here I have it, in substance, all that has pass'd for this hour or + two. There was no need of Mr. Lock's writing much of the Dialogue. The + great men felt the ridicule, and took pleasure in improving it. They + quitted their Play, and fell into a Conversation becoming them: and so + passed the remainder of the Day.</p> + + <p>"When my G<sup>d</sup> Father, from being Chancellor of the Exchequer, + was made High Chancellor (w<sup>ch</sup> was in the year 1672) he + advanc'd Mr. Lock to the Place of Secretary for the Clergy: and when my + G<sup>d</sup> Father quitted the Court and began to be in Danger from it, + Mr. Lock now shard with him in Dangers, as before in Honours & + Advantages. He entrusted him with his secretest negotiations, and made + use of his assistant Pen in matters that nearly concerned the State, and + were fitt to be made publick, to raise that spirit in the Nation which + was necessary against the prevailing Popish Party.</p> + + <p>"It was for something of this kind that got air, and out of great + Tenderness to Mr. Lock that my Grandfather in the year 1674 sent him + abroad to travell: an Improvement w<sup>ch</sup> my G<sup>d</sup> father + was gladd to add to those he had allready given him. His Health servd as + a very just Excuse: he being consumptive as early in his Life as that + was. So that having travelld thro' France he went<a name="footnotetag2" + href="#footnote2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> to Montpelier and there stayd for + some time. He returnd again to my G<sup>d</sup> Fathers in the year 1678, + and remaind in his Family till the year 1682: w<sup>ch</sup> was the year + that my G<sup>d</sup> Father retird into Holland and there dyed. Mr. Lock + who was to have soon followd him thither, was not prevented in the + voyage, by this Death: but found it safest for him to retire thither, and + there lived (at our good Friend Mr. Furly's of Rotterdam) till the happy + Revolution of King William, w<sup>ch</sup> restord him to his native + Country and to other Publick offices of greater Note, w<sup>ch</sup> by + fresh Meritts he deserv'd: witness his then Publishd Books of Government, + Trade and Coin: by w<sup>ch</sup> he had as considerably servd the State, + as he had done the Church and Protestant Interest by his defence of + Toleration and support of the Revolution-Principles.</p> + + <p>"But of this part of his Life, you need no Information.</p> + + <p>"Thus far I have made mention of Mr. Lock as to his station in Publick + affaires, under my Grandfather. Now as to his Service in private + affaires, and the Concerns of a Family, w<sup>ch</sup> was, in every + respect, so happy in him, that he seem as a good Guardian Angel sent to + bless it.</p> + + <p>"When Mr. Lock first came into the Family, my Father was a youth of + about fifteen or sixteen. Him my Grandfather entrusted wholly to Mr. Lock + for what remain'd of his Education. He was an only Child, and of no firm + Health: w<sup>ch</sup> induc'd my G<sup>d</sup> Father, in concern for + his Family to think of marrying him as soon as possible. He was too young + and unexperienc'd to chuse a Wife for himself: and my Grandfather too + much in Business to chuse one for him. The affair was nice, for tho' my + Grandfather requir'd not a great Fortune, he insisted on good Blood, good + Person and Constitution, and above all, good Education, and a Character + as remote as possible from that of Court- or Town-bred Lady. All this was + thrown upon Mr. Lock, who being allready so good Judge of Men, my Grand + Father doubted not of his equal <!-- Page 99 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page99"></a>{99}</span>Judgment in Women. He departed from him, + entrusted and sworn, as <i>Abraham's</i> Head-servant<a + name="footnotetag3" href="#footnote3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <i>that ruled + over all that he had</i>, and went into a far-Country (the North of + England) <i>to seek for his Son a Wife</i> whome he as successfully + found. Of Her, I and six more of us, Brothers & Sisters, were born; + in whose Education Mr. Lock govern'd according to his own Principles + (since publishd by him) and with such success that we all of us came to + full years, with strong healthy Constitutions: my own the worst; tho' + never faulty till of late. I was his more peculiar Charge: being as + eldest son, taken by my Grandfather, & bred under his immediate Care: + Mr. Lock having the absolute Direction of my Education, and to whome next + my immediate Parents as I must own the greatest Obligation, so I have + ever preserved the highest Gratitude & Duty.</p> + + <p>"I could wish that my Time and Health would permit me to be longer in + this Account of my Friend and Foster-Father, Mr. Lock. If I add any thing + as you desire, concerning my Grandfather himself, it must have a second + place: this being a subject more selfish and in w<sup>ch</sup> I may + justly suspect my self of Partiality: of w<sup>ch</sup> I would willingly + be free: and think I truly am so in this I now send you. But I fear least + this (such as it is) should come too late, and therefore hasten to + conclude with repeated Assurances of my being your Oblig'd Friend and + humble Servant</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">"Shaftesbury</span>. + + <p>"P.S. If after what I have said I dare venture a Word to you as to my + Grandfather's Apology for the one and only thing I repine at in his whole + Life (I mean the unhappy Words you mention <i>delenda est Carthago</i>), + It must be this: That the Publick would not insist on this as so ill, and + injuriouse; if they considered the English Constitution and manner of + those times in w<sup>ch</sup> the Prince more lofty in Prorogative and at + greater distance from his People than now of days, used but a few Words + to his Parlement; and committed the rest to his Keepers or Chancellor, to + speak his sence for him (as he expresses it in y<sup>e</sup> conclusion + of his own speech) upon w<sup>ch</sup> my Grandfather, the then + Chancellor, and in his Chancellor's Place<a name="footnotetag4" + href="#footnote4"><sup>[4]</sup></a>, spoke of King's sence, as the + King's mouth; in y<sup>e</sup> same manner as the Speaker of the House of + Peers or Commons, speaks the House's sence, as <i>the House's mouth</i> + (for so he is esteemd and calld) whatsoever may be his own private sence; + or tho' he may have deliver'd his own Opinion far contrary.</p> + + <p>"Such was my Grandfather's Call: who was far from delivering his Vote + or Opinion in this manner, either as a Councillor or Peer, or in his + Place in Parlement: where he carryed on a direct opposite Interest: he + being allready in open Enmity with the Duke of York and his Party that + carryed on that Warr, in so much that he was at that very time suspected + of holding a Correspondence with Holland in favour of the + Commonwealth-Party in England. However it be, it is no small Comfort to + me that that wise Commonwealth of Holland, the Parent and Nursing-Mother + of Liberty, thought him worthy of their Protection when he was a sufferer + for the common Cause of Religion and Liberty: and he must ever remain a + noble Instance of the Generosity of that State, and of that potent Head + of it, y<sup>e</sup> City of Amsterdam; where yourself and other Great + Men have met with a Reception y<sup>t</sup> will redound to their + Honour.</p> + + <p>"My Grandfather's <i>turning short upon the Court</i> (as<a + name="footnotetag5" href="#footnote5"><sup>[5]</sup></a> Sir William + Temple expresses it) had only this plain reason for it; that he discoverd + the King to be a Papist, through that disguise of an <i>Esprit fort</i>, + w<sup>ch</sup> was a character his Vices and over fondness of Witt made + him affect and act very naturally. Whatever Complyances my Grandfather, + as a States-man, might make before this discovery, to gain the King, from + his Brother and y<sup>e</sup> French Party, he broke off all, when by the + Duke of Buckingham's means, he had gaind this secret. For my + Grandfather's Aversion and irreconcileable Hatred to Popery, was (as + Phanaticisme,) confessd by his greatest Enemyes to be his Master-Passion. + Nor was it ever said that the King left him: but He the King, for nothing + was omitted afterwards by that Prince to regain him; nor nothing to + destroy him, when that was found impossible——</p> + + <p>"But I must end: least I fail this Post."</p> + + <p>The superscription is:</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="i2hg3">"A Monsieur</p> + <p>Monsieur <span class="sc">Le Clerc</span></p> + <p class="i2">sur le Keiser Gracht</p> + <p>près de l'Eglise Arminienne</p> + <p class="i4">a Amsterdam"</p> + </div> + </div> +<div class="note"> + <a name="footnote1"></a><b>Footnote 1:</b><a + href="#footnotetag1">(return)</a> + <p>"A Gentleman of a Sound Protestant Family allways in great Friendship + with ours.

If + I mistake not, what I now transmit will be acceptable to your Batavian + friends, and not unwelcome to those who approve of your undertaking on + this side of the water.</p> + + <p>A good deal has been advanced lately regarding the interest taken by + the inhabitants of Holland, Belgium, and Germany, in our ancient drama; + and in consistency with what was said by Thomas Heywood more than 200 + years ago, some new information has been supplied respecting the + encouragement given to English players abroad. The fact itself was + well-known, and the author last cited (Shakspeare Society's reprint of + the <i>Apology for Actors</i>, 1841, p. 58.) furnishes the name of the + very play performed on one occasion at Amsterdam. The popularity of our + drama there perhaps contributed to the popularity of our lighter + literature, (especially of such as came from the pens of our most + notorious playwrights,) in the same part of Europe, and may account for + the circumstance I am about to mention.</p> + + <p>At this time of day I need hardly allude to the reputation the + celebrated Robert Greene obtained in England, both as a dramatist and a + pamphleteer; and although we have no distinct evidence on the point, we + need hardly doubt that some of his plays had been represented with + applause in Holland. <i>The Four Sons of Aymon</i>, which Heywood tells + us was acted with such strange effect at Amsterdam, must have been a + piece of precisely the same kind as Greene's <i>Orlando Furioso</i>, + which we know was extraordinarily popular in this kingdom, and may have + been equally so abroad. We may thus suppose that Greene's fame had spread + to the Netherlands, and that anything written by him would be well + received by Batavian readers.</p> + + <p>His <i>Quip for an Upstart Courtier, or, a Quaint Dispute between + Velvet-breeches and Cloth-breeches</i>, was published in London in 1592, + and went through two, if not three, impressions in its first year. It was + often reprinted, and editions in 1606, 1615, 1620, 1625, and 1635, have + come down to us, besides others that, no doubt, have entirely + disappeared. That the fame of this production extended to Holland, I have + the proof before me: it is a copy of the tract in Dutch, with the + following imprint—"<i>Tot Leyden. By Thomas Basson</i>. <span + class="scac">M.D.CI.</span>" A friend of mine writes me from Rotterdam, + that he has a copy, without date, but printed about twenty or + five-and-twenty years after mine of 1601, which shows how long the + popularity of the tract was maintained; and I have little doubt that mine + is not by any means the earliest Dutch impression, if only because the + wood-cut of the Courtier and the Countryman (copied with the greatest + precision from the London impression of 1592) is much worn and blurred. + The title-page runs as follows, and the name of Robert Greene is rendered + obvious upon it for the sake of its attraction:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Een Seer vermakelick Proces tusschen Fluweele-Broeck ende + Laken-Broeck.

As to the cross "miraculously received by David I., and in honour + of which he founded Holyrood Abbey in 1128," and which some antiquaries + (see <i>A Brief Account of Durham Cathedral</i>; Newcastle, 1833, p. 46.) + gravely assert was to be seen "in the south aisle of <i>the choir</i> of + Durham Cathedral at its eastern termination, in front of a wooden screen + richly gilt and decorated with stars and other ornaments," are not all + agreed that the story is a mere monkish legend, invented long after + Holyrood was founded (although, perhaps, not so recent as Lord Hailes + supposed)? and is it not, therefore, absurd to speak of such a cross + being taken at the battle of Durham, or to identify it with the Black + Rood of Scotland?</p> + + <p>6.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, upon the + line in Chaucer,—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"These were his words <i>by and by</i>."—<i>R. R.</i> 4581.</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>interprets "separately, distinctly;" and there are various other + instances in Chaucer admitting the same interpretation:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"Two yonge knightes ligging, <i>by and by</i>."—<i>Kn. T.</i>, v. 1016.</p> + </div> + </div> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"His doughter had a bed all <i>by</i> hireselve,</p> + <p>Right in the same chambre <i>by and by</i>."—<i>The Reves T.</i>, v. 4441.</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>So also in the "Floure and the Leafe," stanzas 9 and 24. The latter I + will quote, as it is much to the purpose:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="i2hg3">"The semes (of the surcote) echon,</p> + <p>As it were a maner garnishing,</p> + <p>Was set with emerauds, <i>one and one</i>,</p> + <p><i>By and by</i>."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>But there are more ancient usages, e.g. in R. Brunne, bearing also the + same interpretation. "The chartre was read ilk poynt <i>bi and bi</i>:" + William had taken the homage of barons "<i>bi</i> and <i>bi</i>." He + assayed (<i>i.e.</i> tried) "tham (the horses) <i>bi and bi</i>."</p> + + <p>Richardson's conception is, that there is a <i>subaudition</i> in all + these expressions; and that the meaning is, by point and by point; by + baron and by baron; by horse and by horse: <i>one and one</i>, as Chaucer + writes; each <i>one</i> separately, by <i>him</i> or <i>it</i>-self. And + thus, that <i>by and by</i> may be explained, <i>by</i> one and <i>by</i> + one; distinctly, both in space or time. Our modern usage is restricted to + <i>time</i>, as, "I will do so <i>by and by</i>:" where <i>by and by</i> + is equivalent to <i>anon</i>, <i>i.e.</i> in one (moment, instant, + &c.).

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/22625-h/images/024a.png b/22625-h/images/024a.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fdae341 --- /dev/null +++ b/22625-h/images/024a.png diff --git a/22625-h/images/024b.png b/22625-h/images/024b.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..870af53 --- /dev/null +++ b/22625-h/images/024b.png |
