EXPEDITION TO SURINAM. 



price conld be too dear for a young woman, pofle fling 

 fo much excellence, provided I could pay it>- 



Solomon well obferves, " that as cold water is to a 



thirfty foul, fo are good tidings from a diflant country 

 and this news, on its firft arrival, had indeed the moft re- 

 viving efFecft on me : but when reflecSlion taught me how 

 impoflible it was for me to obtain fuch a fum of money^ 

 and while I was employed in giving all the prefents I had 

 received (except the ham and the dog) to Joanna's rela- 

 tions at Fauconberg, who loaded me with adorations and 

 earefles, I exclaimed, with a bitter ligh, " Oh ! that I could 

 " have but found a fum fufficient to purchafe every one 

 " of their freedoms !" I^ now found my felf,, though ex- 

 ceedingly weak, however fo much better, that on the next 

 day I went down fo far as the eftate Bergfhove, whence 

 the adminiftrator, a Mr. Gourlay, humanely caufed me 

 to be tranfported to Paramaribo in a decent tent-barge 

 with fix oars ; but relapfing, I arrived juft alive on the 

 evening of the 19th, having pall the preceding night on t 

 the eftate called the Jalofee, apparently dead. , 



r cannot leave the river Gomewina without prefenting 

 the reader with a view of Magdenberg, from the Tem- 

 patee ; and a peep at Calais, from, the Hope, at the 

 mouth of the Gofaweenica Greek.. 



Being now in a comfortable lodging at Mr. de la Mare's, , 

 and attended by fo good a creature as Joanna, I reco- 

 vered apace; and on the 25th was fo well, that I was able r 

 to walk out for the firft time, when I dined with Mrs. Gode- 



froy^.
