EDEN FARM, KENT, July 18th, 1812. My dear Lord,--Mr. Burke's fourth letter to Lord Fitzwilliam is personally interesting to me: I have perused it with a respectful attention. When I communicated to Mr. Burke, in 1795, the printed work which he arraigns and discusses, I was aware that he would differ from me. Some light is thrown on the transaction by my note which gave rise to it, and by his answer, which exhibits the admirable powers of his great and good mind, deeply suffering at the time under a domestic calamity. I have selected these two papers from my manuscript collection, and now transmit them to your Lordship with a wish that they may be annexed to the publication in question. I have the honor to be, my dear Lord, Yours most sincerely, AUCKLAND. TO THE RIGHT REV. THE LORD BISHOP OF ROCHESTER. * * * * * _Letter from Lord Auckland to the Right Honorable Edmund Burke_. |
