of Dublin, and nephew to the celebrated 

 author on the difeafes of Minorca, His fo- 

 ciety is a great acquifition to us, and we are 

 much gratified in having fuch an agreeable 

 addition to our party. We now look, more 

 anxioufly than ever, to the arrival of the 

 Ulyfles, in the hope of being allowed to efta- 

 blifli a pleafant mefs for the voyage. 



On the day of Dr. Cleghorn's arrival at 

 Portfmouth, it happened that he met me 

 walking in the ftreet, when, without any in- 

 trodudion, he diredly accofted me by name ; 

 and, on my feeming furprized, at being fo 

 addrefTed by a ftranger, he remarked that my 

 face was very familiar to him, from, having 

 feen me often at the clalTes in Edinburgh : 

 upon a further eclaircifTement, it proves that 

 Mailer, Cleghorn, and myfelf were cotempo- 

 raries, though not acquainted, at Edinburgh ; 

 and that we were all pupils at Guy's and St. 

 Thomas's In London. We are now met again, 

 under circumftances calculated to create a 

 durable intimacy, and we hope to remain af- 

 foclated, until the calls of fervice fliall require 

 our unwilling feparation.
