Not one in fifty of those who call themselves deists, understand the nature of the religion which they reject. If thou studiest diligently, thou will become learned. Education is not attended to properly in Spain. He know'd it was his duty; and he ought, therefore, to do it. He has little more of the great man besides the title. Richard acted very independent on the occasion. We have done no more than it was our duty to have done. The time of my friend entering on business, soon arrived.
