I never like them a bit less for being disliked by the rest of mankind.

Mr.
Preston has desired me to bring him up this evening two or three subjects for a Declamation.

Those which I have selected are as follows: 1st, a speech in the character of Lord Coningsby, impeaching the Earl of Oxford; 2nd, an essay on the utility of standing armies; 3rd, an essay on the policy of Great Britain with regard to continental possessions.
I conclude with sending my love to Papa, Selina, Jane, John, ("but he is not there," as Fingal pathetically says, when in enumerating his sons who should accompany him to the chase he inadvertently mentions the dead Ryno,) Henry, Fanny, Hannah, Margaret, and Charles.

Valete.

MACAULAY.
This exhaustive enumeration of his brothers and sisters invites attention to that home where he reigned supreme.
