fellow-subjects," and was made a baron of the United 

 Kingdom in 1801. His "Travels in Spain" went through 

 several editions and was translated into German. Amongst 

 other works from his pen were : — " Political Survey of the 

 Sacred Roman Empire," " Letters from a Traveller in 

 Spain on the Origin and Progress of Poetry in that king- 

 dom," " Alphonso and Eleonora, or the Triumphs of Valour 

 and Virtue," and a " Treatise on Foreign Agriculture," 

 translated from the French of the Chevalier de Monroy. 

 He also translated from the Spanish a work entitled 

 " Sketches on the Art of Painting." One of his most 

 interesting works, entitled " Memoirs of the French Revolu- 

 tion," is valued as containing original documents and 

 expressing the views of a contemporary. He was a strong 

 advocate of religious liberty: — 



Baron Dillon presents his Compliments to Capt. Leigh Philips and is 

 much obliged to him for the favour of his kind note from Parliament Street 

 which tho' dated on friday morning only came to his hands on Saturday night 

 at a late hour. — as it mentioned that Capt. P. was to Set out on Sunday 

 morning for Manchester it prevented him from the pleasure of waiting on him 

 which he certainly should have done had he known before of his being in town 

 & with many thanks for his kind offers of service at Manchester begs leave to 

 reciprocate the same to him here upon all occasions — Capt. Philips will please 

 to be assured that John Talbot Dillon will always preserve the most steady 

 regard & attachment for the Manchester Military association & should ever the 

 occasion offer to assert those principles of Loyalty, freedom & defence which 

 Distinguishes that Corps, J. T. D. will ever be ready to rejoin them in defence 

 of the same, and with every good wish for their prosperity hopes they will still 

 consider him as a Brother, — not without the pleasing prospect of paying them a 

 visit in the course of the Summer.

The following letter probably refers to a request made 

 by Dr. Charles White, F.R.S., one of the four original vice- 

 presidents of the Society, in connection with the formation 

 of his anatomical museum, which was eventually presented 

 to the Manchester Lying-in Hospital. The request may have
