As I have not got Sully's Memoirs, I shall be delighted if you will be so good as to give them to me.

Reading history is one of my greatest delights, and perhaps, dear Uncle, you might like to know which books in that line I am now reading.

In my lessons with the Dean of Chester,[13] I am reading Russell's _Modern Europe_,[14] which is very interesting, and Clarendon's _History of the Rebellion_.

It is drily written, but is full of instruction.

I like reading different authors, of different opinions, by which means I learn not to lean on one particular side.
