conversation. Mr. Burke has been at Gregory’s twenty-nine
years; and I was pleased to remark that he lived on the same
moderate plan of life which I witnessed here five-and-twenty
years ago.
Mem. ‘To search for that visit.’[164]
My visit on the whole was interesting. I am glad once more to
have seen and conversed with the man who I hold to possess
the greatest and most brilliant parts of any person of the age in
which he lived. Whose conversation has often fascinated me;
whose eloquence has charmed; whose writings have delighted
and instructed the world; and whose name will without question
descend to the latest posterity. But to behold so great a genius
so depressed with melancholy, stooping with infirmity of body,
feeling the anguish of a lacerated mind, and sinking to the grave
under accumulated misery; to see all this in a character I
venerate, and apparently without resource or comfort, wounded
every feeling of my soul, and I left him the next day almost as
low-spirited as himself.
In May the Duke of Buccleugh carried me to see Mr. Secretary
Dundas’s farm at Wimbledon, where I was to give my opinion of
the mode of draining it. I found his people throwing money away
like fools. They know nothing of the matter. This duke is another
determined farmer, and seems to like conversing on no other
subject.
This year I undertook a journey through the western counties,
through Devon into Cornwall, returning by Somersetshire, and
published the register of it in the ‘Annals of Agriculture.’ I
happened to be at Exeter at the time of the quarter sessions, and
dined with thirty magistrates, Mr. Leigh, clerk of the House of
Commons, being chairman. I did not know him personally, and
joined more warmly in a conversation on the Enclosure Bill,[165]
than I should have done had I known that I was speaking to a
person so much interested against it. Mr. Leigh was very decided
in his opposition to the measure, asserting that there was no
protection for property in any other mode of proceeding, which
had been so long the established custom. I very eagerly refuted
this observation till some gentleman present spoke to Mr. Leigh,
alluding to his official character. This was one proof of what I had
often heard, that the officers of the two Houses of Parliament
were of all others the most determined opposers of that
measure. The reason is obvious; they have very considerable
fees on the passing of every private Act,[166] and the clerks of the
House have a further benefit which might not be compensated in
any equivalent that might be given them; because they solicit
many of the bills. Still, as there is so plain a precedent which has
existed for many years in the case of the Speaker of the House,
who has 6,000l. per annum instead of all fees, it seems no
difficult matter to give an equal equivalent to the clerks for all
their profits, including what they might make as solicitors.
CHAPTER XII
‘My dear Papa,—I received your letter this morning. Thank you
for it. My strength is much the same as when I saw you; my
appetite is getting better a good deal. Mr. Smith saw me
yesterday, and said it was a running pulse, but that he thought
me better. I think if anything I am better than when I saw you.
Thank you for the wine, which I have not yet received, but
suppose it is at Bury. As for the bad news, I am tired of it. I want,
and should very much like, a nice writing-box to hold pens, ink,
paper, all my letters, &c., in short everything exact; this is just the
thing for a birthday present. As for sweet things, I do not wish for
them particularly; any little thing that you think wholesome I
should be glad of. The weather [is] as yet so bad that I cannot
stir out. Remember me to the party, and thank Mr. Kedington for
waking me at six o’clock on the Monday morning.
‘Believe me, dear Papa,
‘Your dutiful Daughter,
‘M. Young.’

‘My dear Papa,—I received your letter this morning, for which I
thank you. My appetite is a great deal better, pulse rather too
quick, sleep very well, no pains, no swelled legs, no fever. We
have had Sunday, Monday, and yesterday fine, and only those
since you went. I walked in the Stone Walk. Pray send my
writing-box as soon as you can, and, as you see by this, I want
writing paper to write to you and Griffiths; I hope you will put
some into it. I think one under a guinea will not be of any use to
me. I saw Mr. and Mrs. O. Oakes[169] in Bury yesterday, they have
made but a short stay in town. I am much obliged to you for the
wine and porter, which I have received safe. Remember me to
the party, write soon, and believe me, dear papa,
‘Your dutiful Daughter,
‘M. Young.
‘N.B.—By the time Mr. Kedington comes his strawberries will
be ripe; ask him if he would give me a few if I send for them.
Pray remember a patent lock, so it will be a guinea besides that.’
