I have been applied to by some of them in the name of the managers of the scheme to write for them in the Edinburgh Review.

I would gladly further a cause so good, and you, I think, could have no objection.
Ever yours truly T.B.MACAULAY.
Bowood: February 20, 1830.
My dear Father,--I am here in a very nice room, with perfect liberty, and a splendid library at my command.

It seems to be thought desirable that I should stay in the neighbourhood, and pay my compliments to my future constituents every other day.
The house is splendid and elegant, yet more remarkable for comfort than for either elegance or splendour.

I never saw any great place so thoroughly desirable for a residence.

Lord Kerry tells me that his uncle left everything in ruin,--trees cut down, and rooms unfurnished,--and sold the library, which was extremely fine.
