"April 12. 1814.
"I send you a few notes and trifling alterations, and an additional
motto from Gibbon, which you will find _singularly appropriate_. A
'Good-natured Friend' tells me there is a most scurrilous attack on
_us_ in the Anti-jacobin Review, which you have _not_ sent. Send
it, as I am in that state of languor which will derive benefit from
getting into a passion. Ever," &c.
