HISTORY OF A YOUNG LADY

Nine Volumes
Volume IX.

CONTENTS OF VOLUME IX

LETTER I. Belford to Lovelace.--
Her silent devotion. Strong symptoms of her approaching dissolution.
Comforts her cousin and him. Wishes she had her parents' last blessing:
but God, she says, would not let her depend for comfort on any but
Himself. Repeats her request to the Colonel, that he will not seek to
avenge her wrongs; and to Belford, that he will endeavour to heal all
breaches.

LETTER II. From the same.--
The Colonel writes to Mr. John Harlowe that they may now spare themselves
the trouble of debating about a reconciliation. The lady takes from her
bosom a miniature picture of Miss Howe, to be given to Mr. Hickman after
her decease. Her affecting address to it, on parting with it.

LETTER III. Belford to Mowbray.--
Desires him and Tourville to throw themselves in the way of Lovelace, in
order to prevent him doing either mischief to himself or others, on the
receipt of the fatal news which he shall probably send him in an hour or
two.

LETTER IV. Lovelace to Belford.--
A letter filled with rage, curses, and alternate despair and hope.

LETTER V. Belford to Lovelace.--
With the fatal hint, that he may take a tour to Paris, or wherever else
his destiny shall lead him.

LETTER VI. Mowbray to Belford.--
With the particulars, in his libertine manner, of Lovelace's behaviour
on his receiving the fatal breviate, and of the distracted way he is in.

LETTER VII. Belford to Lovelace.--
Particulars of Clarissa's truly christian behaviour in her last hours. A
short sketch of her character.

LETTER VIII. From the same.--
The three next following letters brought by a servant in livery, directed
to the departed lady, viz.
