ay 
1792. on the prince of Denmar?. 6a 
‘ Count Reventlow is an able afsistant to the finance mi- 
nister, though in a difierent department. He is a man of 
a clear judgement and steady application. Itis to himin pact. 
we owe the riew regulations respecting the boors, which 
do honour to his feelings 2s a man, and his judgement as a 
minister. 
‘ The arts, manufactures, and trade, have been deemed 
below the notice of gentlemen in Denmark. Agricul- 
ture must of course fhare the same fate. It is, however, 
with pleasure I inform you, there is an appearance of a 
happy alteration in favour of these useful, and hitherto ne- 
glected profefsions. A superficial education has been. 
the only accomplifhment ofa gentleman. To talk French, 
German, a little Englifh,—to be able to dance gracefully, 
and play at cards, were all the requisites necefsary. To 
be acquainted with mankind, to know themselves, their 
own, or any other country, absolute folly. People of 
quality supposed those under them an inferior kind of 
beings, created for their purposes. ‘Lhe change which is. 
daily observable in these opinions, origitiates with the 
prince royal, whose opinion appears to be, that actions, not 
rank, dignify the character.’ ' 
Thus far my ingenious correspondent, whose farther re- 
marks on that country fhall be reserved till another occasi- 
on. May this prince be preserved from the hands of the 
afsafsin, and long be spared to add to the happinefs of his 
people, and the prosperity of his country!
