KING'S ROAD.
MY DEAR FRIEND, It is my wish to see you for five minutes this day, but as you must be much engaged, and I am likely to be prevented reaching you this morning, I shall only trouble you with a line.
Most warmly I must impress on your mind the _necessity_ of taking the advice of a physician.

Who?
You know many.

We have heard extraordinary accounts of Dr.Baillie, and that (what is more extraordinary) he is not mercenary....
I have written this to impress on your mind this point.

Seeing you as we see you, and your friend at a fault, how to decide, and you without some relative or domestic friend about you, gives Mrs.D'I.

and myself very serious concerns--for you know we do take the warmest interest in your welfare--and your talents and industry want nothing but health to make you yet what it has always been one of my most gratifying hopes to conceive of you.
Yours very affectionately, I.D'ISRAELI.
A circumstance, not without influence on Murray's future, occurred about this time with respect to the "Miniature," a volume of comparatively small importance, consisting of essays written by boys at Eton, and originally published at Windsor by Charles Knight.
