SOLITARINESS.

Sweet solitary life thou true repose,
Wherein the wise contemplate heaven aright,
In thee no dread of war or worldly foes,
In thee no pomp seduceth mortal sight.
In thee no wanton cares to win with words,
Nor lurking toys which silly life affords.

REST.

What so strong

The sun that measures heaven all day long,
At night doth bathe his steeds th' ocean waves among.

A will must rule above the will of ours,
Not following what our vain desires do woo,
For virtue's sake, but what we only do.

He only lives most happily
That's free and far from majesty--
Can live content although unknown--
He fearing none, none fearing him--
Meddling with nothing but his own--
While gazing eyes at crowns grow dim.

Content feeds not on glory nor on pelf,
Content can be contented with herself.

Sir Richard Phillips's Personal Tour through the United Kingdom_; since,
as the author observes, "if the less active districts of the home
counties afforded materials worthy of attention, the more industrious
counties of DERBY and NOTTINGHAM are not less likely to add interest to
the pen of an observer. In truth, the public spirit which more actively
prevails in these counties, added facilities to inquiry; while the
objects described have so many peculiar features, that a full and popular
account of them must be as new to the nation at large as they were to the
writer."

_Derby._

After passing a pleasant night and morning near Swarkeston, I drove eight
miles, through a country of limestone and gypsum; of activity and great
beauty, to the centrical and classical town of Derby. In position, it is
the centre of the kingdom, not only
