lengths of day and night, the reason of eclipses, tran- 

 sits, &c. When yon have seen it, and read the explana- 

 tory lectures, you will be able to judge of its plainness; 

 and if you find you understand it, you may teach geo- 

 graphy scholars its use. Should it fail in other points of 

 view, it will be useful to Maria and Catherine.

Remember to keep up the plan of family worship on 

 Sundays with strictness until I come, and it will probably 

 pave the way for still further improvements, which I may, 

 perhaps, have an opportunity of making while I stay 

 with you. Let Maria and Catherine be more particularly 

 taught to regard Sunday as a day set apart from all 

 worldly occupations : let them have everything prepared 

 for the Sabbath on the preceding day ; and be carefully 

 warned, on that day in particular, to avoid paying too 

 great an attention to dress. I know how important habits 

 like these will be to their future happiness even in this 

 world, and I therefore press this with earnestness.

TO HIS BROTHER KEYILLE. 



Winteringham, 20tb May 1805. 

 Mt dtlAti Neville, 



* * * * 



My first business muft be to thank you for the 



which I received by Mr K. Swann. You must not sup- 

 pose that I feel reluctance to lie under obligations to so 

 affectionate a brother, when I say, that I have felt uneasy 

 ever since on more accounts than one. I am convinced, 

 in the first place, that you have little to spare ; and I 

 fear in the second, that I shall prove a hindrance to a 

 measure which I know to be necessary for your health ; 

 I mean your going to some watering-place for the benefit 

 of sea-bathing. I am aware of the nature of injuries re- 

 ceived at the joints, especially the knee ; and I am sure 

 nothing will strengthen your knee more for the present, 

 and prevent the recurrence of disease in it for the future.
