 boribus crebre septus, quo deambulare solemus. Cir- 

 cumcirca sunt rurales pagi quibus ssepe cum otiura aga-

 ubi a celsa rupe videre potes flumen Trentii vasto Hum-

Infra sub opaca saxa fons est cui potestas inest in la-

 labitur in litus, muschum, conchas et fragiliores, ramos 

 arborum in lapidem transmutans. In prospectu domus 

 montes Eboracenses surgunt trans Humberum siti, sylvis 

 et villis stipati, nunc solis radiis ridentes, nunc horridi 

 nimbis ac procellis. Vela navium ventis impleta ante 

 fenestras satis longo intervallo prolabuntur : dum supra

 volitant. Saepe in animo revolvo verba ista Homeri :

TO MR K. SWANN. 



Winteringham, 20th Oct. 1804. 

 Deah Kirke, 



We are safely arrived, and comfortably settled, in 

 the parsonage of Winteringham. The house is most de- 

 lightfully situated close by the church, at a distance from 

 the village, and with delightful gardens behind, and the 

 Humber before. The family is very agreeable, and the 

 style in which we live is very superior. Our tutor is not 

 only a learned man, but the best pastor and most pleasing
