Letters to Benjamin Franklin 121 



From Tlio[mas] Percival. 1771. May 16. Manchester, 



Enclosing an attempt of his to account for the different quantities of 

 rain which fall at different heights. Hope of seeing and interviewing 

 Franklin at Manchester. A. L. S. 2 p. Ill, 61. 



From [Barbeu] Dubourg. 1771. May 27. Paris. 



Has not heard from Franklin for several months. Nine numbers 

 of the " Citizen's Ephemerides " have appeared within the last five 

 months. Sends them to Franklin and also to Mr. Rush. His " Manual 

 of Humanity" is finally being printed at Bouillon. His work on the 

 " Peerage of France " has been delayed and altered by the Censor. 

 Although the present Government is bad enough, fears a change to 

 worse. Thinks the judges and magistrates have too much power and 

 are more arbitrary than a despot. A. L. 4 p. (In French.) XLIV, 6.
