# Letters from India Volume I/To the Countess of Buckinghamshire 5

Government House, January 27, 1837.
My dearest Sister,—I have not much to say that I have not said fifty times over, but still I must write, because you are, as I said above, my dearest sister.
There was a ship—the ‘Gregson’—burnt three days ago. Just got out to sea beyond the Sandheads, and, though all the passengers were saved and are come back here again, every article on board was burnt. I wonder whether many of ​our letters went by her. I shall always say so. In fact, you would have been delighted with the very amusing narrative I sent you by the ‘Gregson.’ It finished off that immense packet I sent you by the ‘Victoria’ in October, which ill-fated ship, I am sorry to see, has also been burnt at the Mauritius; but, as I have written by other ships, only not so pleasantly and freely, of course I only allude to these missing letters just to show that I am always writing to you. It would be indelicate to make the slightest reference to the little offerings sent by the same opportunities. In fact, the little trifles sent per ‘Gregson’ were hardly worth your acceptance, and, as the better selection shipped per ‘Victoria’ now can never reach you, I will not tantalisc you by descriptions of the castern gew-gaws. You guess the style of thing—mother of pearl and silver filigree—and if I did not say anything about the shawl embroidered with seed pearls and emeralds, it must have been mere forgetfulness on my part, as I think you would have liked it to put over your gown when you were gardening.
I am so glad you continue to like Dandy. I am fonder of Chance in my own little way than ​of all the rest of India, with Ceylon and the Straits thrown into the bargain. He has got such a sweet coat too, which he wears morning and evening, after the fashion of dogs in India. He had a common red one, very well for a common black dog, but not quite the thing for the Prince Royal. There is a native who sells us Chinese silks, and I suppose has made a good thing of us, for he made up as a surprise to me a coat for Chance, of a broché gold-coloured satin bound with silver, with a sort of breast-plate of mock stones set in gold. It was put on Chance, and he was brought into my room in triumph by his man, followed by all my servants, just to see if I did not really think it the most beautiful dress in the world; and Rosina stands and admires it with genuine admiration, and asks every morning whether Chance had better wear his old coat or his Sunday dress.
Yours affectionately,
E. Eden.

There are three little midshipmen going their first voyage; one of them, who was to join another ship, is dying of a decline (poor boy!), and has not been out of his hammock for a fortnight; nothing can equal the care that is taken of him.
​One of the others is a very little fellow called Douglas, and he is as like your —— as it is possible to be, only a little shorter. I draw no inferences, but everybody calls him ‘a pretty boy.’ He is going to act Miss Hardcastle, in ‘She Stoops to Conquer.’ He is full of spirits, and insisted on being put into a watch long before the ﬁrst lieutenant thought of it; but in the night watches some of the older ones always send him off to bed. The night of the storm, George looked out on deck, and there he saw little Douglas, in his rough Flushing jacket and trousers, and oil-skin hat, trying to stand steady on deck, without shoes or stockings, as all the officers are in that sort of weather, and his little feet looked so white and new amongst those weatherbeaten, brown sailors. Your mother would be quite satisfied with the way in which those young ones are treated.
One of the lieutenants has them into his cabin to read every day, and the old ones are always teaching them something either at the wheel or at the sextants, and they are rather spoiled than bullied.
One of the passengers began to bully little ​Douglas at first, but when the boy found out he was supported by his own officers he turned upon the man one day and said, ‘I tell you what, Mr. V——, if you hit me once more, I give you notice I shall hit you again’ (Mr. V—— is six feet high), ‘and what is more, when we cross the line I shall pay you off!’ They say he looked so funny with his fist doubled up at the man,—who never says a word to him now.

The Cape, December 16, 1835.
We landed on Monday afternoon, all well. We are lodged in a tolerable house, but are much devoured by every species of animal. It is very hot, indeed, till the afternoon. We have ​had some nice drives into the country; live on new potatoes, peas, strawberries, apricots, &c.; are a little oppressed with visitors, but have found some old friends in Lady C. Bell and Mrs. Wauchope, and, altogether, it is a great rest, and the last we shall have till we get to our long home—Calcutta. I wish you could see some of the flowers, &c. George is sending home a lot of bulbs for you. We are writing ten letters apiece to go by ‘Liverpool,’ and there will be a frightful interval between your receiving this and my next. Love to all.
Your most affectionate
E. Eden.

We have had some very nice drives; our house is very good in the daytime, but alive at night; it is the general complaint of Cape Town, and very unpleasant. However, they have sent us two brass bedsteads from the ‘Jupiter,’ so that I am much better off now. We drive to-day with the Bells. She has been very civil and is very pleasant, I think, with great remains of beauty. They sent for Ann Wauchope from Simon’s Town, and she was ​with us all yesterday. It is pleasant to meet a friend at this distance. She has such a funny little boy—six years old. My heart warmed to this boy, because he is like all Robert’s boys mixed up together; in looks, a mixture of Willy and Ashley. To—morrow we are going to dine in the country at Protea, with a Sir J. and Lady Bryant—pleasant people, who have passed their lives in India, and are now going home.
George is buying several horses here, as the Cape horses are much better, particularly for ladies’ riding, than the Arab horses; and Captain Grey has been persuaded into finding room for four in the ‘Jupiter.’ We sail Monday morning, and look with some dread to this long stage of the voyage, and it will be a dreadfully long time before you can hear of us again; but you must go on writing all the more, as it is not our fault. Our letters are to go this afternoon by the ‘Liverpool.’ I have so many to finish, I cannot write any more. George is sending you some bulbs. The flowers here are perfectly beautiful. Love to all.
Yours most affectionately,
E. E.

October, 1835.
I REALLY am hurried out of my senses to-day; so perhaps this will be a short line. We have just ordered all our linen, and are going to pass some miserable hours in search for coloured muslins, &c.; and we have got a Hindostanee master coming to-morrow, as they say a little teaching before we go is quite enough to give us the power of asking for the common necessaries of life. Otherwise we must have an interpreter constantly tagging after us.
We all went down to look at the ‘Jupiter’ yesterday morning, with our captain, and gave our ﬁnal directions about our cabins—a shelf here and a hook there, and more means of thorough ventilation, and better beds for the ​maids, and so on. It is all, I dare say, as comfortable as a ship can be; but it has been painted, and has got its regular ship smell, and so, of course, before I had been there ten minutes I was dead sick, and Mary Eden was not much better. Very shocking, indeed!—well meant, but a failure!
I sometimes sit in blank despair, and wonder—quite posed as to what I am to do without you all—not to be able to sit down and scratch off a line to you, &c.; and then I feel as if I could cut somebody’s throat quite through—a sort of savage relief; in short, like ‘the Young Duke,’ ‘depend upon it, I am on the point of doing something desperate.’ The whole business is much worse than I expected, and that is saying a great deal.
I have had a beautiful letter from our King, which I would send you, only there is no time to get it back again, and it must serve as a character to our next place. He sent me a very long message by George, who told me to write my thanks, which I did in the most abject and affectionate style; and then, on Saturday, there came this farewell—really a beautifully-written letter—saying that, amongst his many other ​amiable qualities, he had always given George credit for his exemplary attachment to his sisters, &c. Then there is another whole page of approval of our not consenting to be separated from him by fear of the climate or remoteness of destination, as ‘so affectionate a brother deserves the devotion he meets with;’ and then he desires us all to be good and happy, and so on, and assures us his best wishes will follow us there. I hope for their sakes, poor things! they will go overland.
I shall write again from Portsmouth.
Ever, dearest, your affectionate
E. E.
I enclose Fanny’s hair. George’s was cut this morning, but the result was only a little black dust; so I must cut off a bit close to his head when he is busy and not attending.

Barrackpore, Wednesday, April 27.
I am sometimes quite fidgetty as to the bore that a large package may be to you. I wish you would tell me really what you think. You know you may always read the cover first, as that tells you the last day that we are all well, and then read the rest by degrees. It is the only thing I write with any zest, as the difficulty ​of composing a single letter grows greater every day, as we have done our general descriptions, and there are no particulars that interest anybody at home.
I am quite well again to-day, and as there are only five, or at the most, six more weeks of this very hot weather, I expect to get through it without any more attacks. Then the rains will begin, and though they are hot, it is a different kind of heat.
I sent you, by the ‘Jupiter,’ two Chinese screens with raised figures, at least one of them I think had raised figures. I thought them pretty and new, which is not the case with most things at Calcutta.
Yours affectionately,
E. E.

Barrackpore, December 6, 1836.
For a wonder I am allowed a sheet of glazed paper, which tempts me to run off a letter, though there is no ship going for a week.
George and his household are all at Calcutta. He gave a dinner yesterday to General Allard, Runjeet Singh’s General, and Jacquemont’s friend, who came out again last week to join his master. He called on us the morning we left Calcutta, with all his staff and the officers of the French ship which brought him out, and we all tried to put our best French forward. Allard wears an immensely long beard, of which he makes two wings, that he is always stroking and making much of; and I was dead absent all the time he was there because his wings are beautiful white hair, and his moustachios, and the middle of his beard quite black. He looked like a piebald horse. Our party was not lively: nobody has three ​days’I may say three hours’—conversation in them in this country. I have not quite three-quarters of an hour myself, though I have rather a good set of questions. Fanny and I are quite alone, except for the presence of Captain ——, who is come back from his voyage to the Straits a remarkably fresh-looking, active young man, and he was such a wretched-looking creature when he set off. But he says the first week at sea set him quite up; so that is the thing to do in case of necessity; but at present we are not at all in want of it.
I never saw George so well; and he is really in danger of growing too fat; indeed, so much so, that he has taken this last week to get up very early for a morning ride without prejudice to his ride in the afternoon. I was sitting in his room the other day, when St. Cloud came in search of me with his bill of fare, and he had not seen George for two months. The next day he began with his odd nigger voice and gesticulations, ‘Mon Dieu! madame, son Excellence!’ (he always calls him so) ‘quelle bonne mine il a! qu’il est gras!—bien portant! quel plaisir ça me fait! Son Excellence a un air de santé, de force;’ and he kept describing circles round his ​odd skull of a face and bony figure by way of illustrating George’s increase of size. ‘Grâce à vos bons dîners’ was, of course, all I could say in answer. ‘Ah, madame, j’en suis enchanté!’ and he went off so like the way in which Mathews used to go off the stage as a negro. I am very fond of St. Cloud—George says because he is the only person who is the least confidential with me. He never associates with any of his fellow-servants. All kitchens in India are distinct buildings, at some distance from the house, and in the hot weather I wanted St. Cloud not to cross the compound, but to send me a written bill of fare. He said no; he thought a few minutes’ conversation with madame did him good; he liked to tell her of the ‘bêtes et fainéants’ who composed his kitchen establishment.
We are going to give a ball here on Friday.
Yours affectionately,
E. E.

United States Supreme Court

Lamar v. Micou
This is an appeal by the defendant below from a decree against him for less than $5,000. There is no claim of sef-off or counter-claim, except to reduce the amount of the recovery. In no event can he get any money decree in his favor. All he seeks to do is to defeat the claim of the appellee. Consequently the amount in controversy, so far as this appeal is concerned, is fixed by the decree. Thompson v. Butler, 95 U.S. 694; Sampson v. Welsh, 24 How. 207. In effect he insists that, under the rule of liability established against him in the court below, the decree should have been for more than $5,000, and that for this reason he is entitled to an appeal, so that he may show he is not liable at all. This, we think it clear, is not the law.
The case is not changed by the fact that if, under an appeal which is pending in another suit, it shall be found the appellant was credited in this suit with an amount which properly belonged to that, the decree in that suit will be reduced, while the one in this cannot be correspondingly increased. The appellee is satisfied with this decree, and has not appealed. The appellant cannot eomplain if it turns out in the end that, but for a mistake which was made in his favor, the appellee might have recovered a larger amount.
Appeal dismissed.

A dear son, full of youthful enthusiasm for science, suggested the title of this course of lectures during a walk we had among the hills in the autumn of last year, when the bloom was on the heather. He has since passed away, but it soothes me to dedicate to his memory this little book.
PREFACE
Although these lectures were delivered without the aid of a manuscript, they have been printed substantially as they were spoken, making allowance for the exigencies of an experimental lecture. Here and there I have introduced a little new matter to give some measure of completeness to the exposition. My object was to interest and instruct, and an appeal was made to experiment wherever that was possible. It is no doubt difficult to present the facts of science in a book with the same vividness as when they are demonstrated by experiment; but I have endeavoured, by introducing numerous illustrations, to suggest to the mind what was actually done at the lecture. The delivery of these lectures was a pleasure to myself, as, with the resources of the Royal Institution, I saw certain physiological phenomena more clearly than is possible ​even in a well-equipped laboratory, and I hope that their perusal will interest the young,—and even those who may feel they are no longer young,—in the aims and methods of physiological science.
