day, that, although comparatively impoverished, _others_ have
been enriched by my labours. When I noticed a complete set of my
lucubrations on LARGE PAPER, valued at 250_l_. in a bookseller's
catalogue, (Mr. Pickering's) and afterwards learnt that this set had
found a PURCHASER, I had reason to think that I had "deserved well" of
the Literature of my country: and I resolved to live "mihi carior" in
consequence.
