y conducted, if these are specimens.
We dined with Mrs. Reid;
A lady of fortune and radical opinions, who gave her time and money to the service of the poor, in a truly Christian spirit.
She kept open a library and reading-room for them, at her own expense. . . . . . the dinner was more than commonly agreeable.
Dr. Roget was there, the Secretary of the Royal Society and author of one of the Bridgewater Treatises, a first-rate man; Dr. Bostock, a leading member of the Royal Society; Mr. Hogg, who is about publishing his Travels in the East, and who told us many pleasant stories of Lady Hester Stanhope, etc. In the evening several of the Aikin family came in, and I confess I looked with some interest on the Charles of Mrs. Barbauld's Evenings at Home, though he came with a wig and two daughters, one of whom has made him already a grandfather.
July 21.—At half past 4 I returned to the House of Commons,

XX
Make Thy Option which of two
who does not look back with some slight envy to the period when Professor Popkin could dwell with longing on that coming day when he could retire from his Harvard Professorship of Greek and read the authors?
He actually resigned in 1833, and had for nearly twenty years the felicity for which he longed.
What he meant by reading the authors was well enough exhibited in that contemporary English clergyman, described in Hogg's Life of Shelley, who devoted all his waking hours for thirty years to a regular course of Greek writers.
He arranged them in a three years course, and when they were ended he began again.
The only exception was in case of Homer, whose works he read every year for a month at the seashore—the proper place to read Homer, he said; and, as he also pointed out, there were twenty-four week-days in a month, and by taking a book of the Iliad before dinner, and a book of the Odyssey after dinner, he just finished his pleasant task.
