as good, and
'Werner' too, and I expect that you will publish them speedily. You
need not put your name to _Quevedo,_ but publish it as a foreign
edition, and let it make its way. Douglas Kinnaird has it still,
with the preface, I believe.

"I refer you to him for documents on the late row here. I sent them
a week ago.

"Yours," &c.

LETTER 488. TO MR. MURRAY.

"I have received the Defence of 'Cain.' Who is my Warburton?--for
he has done for me what the bishop did for the poet against
Crousaz. His reply seems to me conclusive; and if you understood
your own interest, you would print it together with the poem.

"It is very odd that I do not hear from you. I have forwarded to
Mr. Douglas Kinnaird the documents on a squabble here, which
occurred about a month ago. The affair is still going on; but they
make nothing of it hitherto. I think, what with home and abroad,
there has been hot water enough for one while. Mr. Dawkins, the
English minister, has behaved in the handsomest and most
gentlemanly manner throughout the whole business.

"Yours ever, &c.

"P.S. I have got Lord Glenbervie's book, which is very amusing and
able upon the topics which he touches upon, and part of the preface
pathetic. Write soon."

LETTER 489. TO MR. MURRAY.

"Pisa, April 22. 1822.

"You will regret to hear that I have received intelligence of the
death of my daughter Allegra of a fever in the convent of Bagna
Cavallo, where she was placed for the last year, to commence her
education. It is a heavy blow for many reasons, but must be borne,
with time.

"It is my present intention to send her remains to England for
sepulture in Harrow church (where I once hoped to have laid my
own), and this is my reason for troubling you with this notice. I
wish the funeral to be very private. The body is embalmed, and in
lead. It will be embarked from Leghorn. Would you have any
objection to give the proper directions on its arrival?

"I am yours, &c. N.B.

"P.S. You are aware that Protestants are not allowed holy ground in
Catholic countries."
