OBITUARY.
We regret to announce the death of Mr. Richard Doyle, which took place yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. He had been at the Athenæum Club on the preceding evening and fell down in a fit, in the hall, about 9 o'clock. Medical help was immediately in attendance, but with no result, and between 10 and 11 o'clock he was conveyed to his residence. From the moment of the first attach he never recovered consciousness. He was not very far short of 60 years of age, having been born about the year 1825. He inherited his artistic and humorous qualities from his father. Mr. John Doyle, the reputed author of those “Political Sketches by H. B.” which tool the town by storm in the days of Lords Grey and Melbourne, and which, in the absence of photography, familiarized the public with the features of Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham, O'Connell, and Lord John Russell. Mr. Richard Doyle first became favourably known to the public as the contributor of those sketches illustrative of “Ye Manners and Customs of Ye Englishe” which appeared in Punch 44 or 45 years ago, and which delicately satirized the foibles and fashions of English society, whether in the park, at a ball, on the race-course, or at Exeter-hall. His family being all devoted Roman Catholics and personal friends of Cardinal Wiseman, Mr. Doyle, most conscientiously and at a very great pecuniary sacrifice, abandoned his connexion with Punch in consequence of its hostility to the so-called “Papal aggression.” Since that time we have heard of Mr. Doyle only at long intervals, as, for instance, in 1854, when he published his “Continental Tour of Brown, Jones, and Robinson or when he employed his graceful pencil in illustrating some popular “Fairy Tales,” or the Cornhill Magazine, or “The Newcomes” for his friend Thackeray.

Octavian Blewitt (1810–1884) Source: Obituary. The Times, Monday, Nov 10, 1884; Issue 31287; pg. 6; col D
Layout 2Mr. Octavian Blewitt, K.L., F.R.G.S., many years of the Royal Literary Fund, whose death has been briefly recorded in The Times, was born in 1803, in St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate, where his father was settled as a merchant. Mr. Blewitt spent much of his early life in the medical profession, and was from some time engaged as a tutor in classics to the son of Sir James Clark, the eminent physician. He subsequently travelled much in Italy, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and other countries, and on his return to England was, in 1839, elected to the post of secretary of the Royal Literary Fund. In this capacity Mr. Blewitt spent many years in arranging the papers, literary, financial, and historical, which constituted the records of the association. In 1872, on the occasion of the King of the Belgians presiding over the anniversary of the Literary Fund, His Majesty testified his appreciation of the services of Mr. Blewitt by conferring upon him the Knighthood of the Order of Leopold. Mr. Blewitt was for many years editor of the newspaper portion of the Gardener's Chronicle and he was also the author of several well-known works, including, "The Panorama of Torquay," published in 1828, and afterwards reprinted in an enlarged edition as "A Descriptive and Historical Sketch of the District comprised between the Dart and Teign," also the "Handbook for Central Italy and Rome," and the "Handbook for Southern Italy and Naples," being two of the series of Murray's guide-books. Mr. Blewitt's funeral is fixed for 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon at Paddington Cemetery.

This letter is a response to one from Jonathan Swift, and resulted in another letter from him.
FROM MRS. HOWARD.
NOV. 1726.
I DID not expect, that the sight of my ring would produce the effects it has. I was in such a hurry to show your plaid to the princess, that I ​could not stay to put it into the shape you desired. It pleased extremely, and I have orders to fit it up according to the first design; but as this is not proper for the publick, you are desired to send over, for the same princess's use, the height of the Brobdingnag dwarf multiplied by 2½. The young princesses must be taken care of; theirs must be in three shares: for a short method, you may draw a line of 20 feet, and upon that, by two circles, form an equilateral triangle; then measuring each side, you will find the proper quantity and proper division. If you want a more particular or better rule, I refer you to the academy of Lagado. I am of opinion many in this kingdom will soon appear in your plaid. To this end it will be highly necessary, that care be taken of disposing of the purple, the yellow and the white silks; and though the gowns are for princesses, the officers are very vigilant; so take care they are not seized. Do not forget to be observant how you dispose the colours. I shall take all particular precautions to have the money ready, and to return it the way you judge safest. I think it would be worth your reflecting in what manner the checker might be best managed.
The princess will take care, that you shall have pumps sufficient to serve you till you return to England; but thinks you cannot, in common decency, appear in heels, and therefore advises your keeping close till they arrive. Here are several Lilliputian mathematicians, so that the length of your ​head, or of your foot, is a sufficient measure. Send it by the first opportunity. Do not forget our good friends the 500 weavers. You may omit the gold thread. Many disputes have arisen here, whether the big-endians, and lesser-endians, ever differed in opinion about the breaking of eggs, when they were to be either buttered or poached? or whether this part of cookery was ever known in Lilliput?
I cannot conclude without telling you, that our island is in great joy; one of our yahoos having been delivered of a creature, half ram and half yahoo; and another has brought forth four perfect black rabbits. May we not hope, and with some probability expect, that in time, our female yahoos will produce a race of Houyhnhnms? I am, sir, your most humble servant,
SIEVE YAHOO.

FROM MRS. HOWARD.
AUGUST, 1727.
I WRITE to you to please myself. I hear you are melancholy because you have a bad head, and deaf ears. These are two misfortunes I have laboured under these many years, and yet was never peevish with myself or the world. Have I more philosophy and resolution than you? Or am I so stupid that I do not feel the evil? Is this meant in a good natured view? or do I mean, that I please myself, when I insult over you? Answer these queries in writing, if poison or other methods do not enable you soon to appear in person. Though I make use of your own word poison, give me leave to tell you, it is nonsense; and I desire you will take more care, for the time to come, how you endeavour to impose upon my understanding, by making no use of your own.

FROM THE SAME.
PART OF A LETTER WRITTEN IN THE YEAR 1720.
IS it possible, that again you will do the very same thing I warned you of so lately? I believe you thought I only rallied, when I told you the other night, I would pester you with letters. Once more I advise you, if you have any regard for your quiet, to alter your behaviour quickly, for I do assure you, I have too much spirit to sit down contented with this treatment. Because I love frankness extremely, I here tell you not that I have determined to try all manner of human arts to reclaim you; and if all those fail, I am resolved to have recourse to the black one, which, it is said, never does. Now see what inconveniency you will bring both yourself and me into. Pray think calmly of it; is it not much better to come of yourself, than to be brought by force, and that perhaps at a time when you have the most agreeable engagement in the world? for when I undertake any thing, I do not love to do it by halves.

FROM MISS VANHOMRIGH.
SELLBRIDGE, 1720.
BELIEVE me, it is with the utmost regret that I now complain to you, because I know your good ​nature such, that you cannot see any human creature miserable without being sensibly touched. Yet what can I do? I must either unload my heart, and tell you all its griefs, or sink under the inexpressible distress I now suffer by your prodigious neglect of me. It is now ten long weeks since I saw you; and in all that time, I have never received but one letter from you, and a little note with an excuse. Oh! have you forgot me? You endeavour by severities to force me from you. Nor can I blame you: for with the utmost distress and confusion, I beheld myself the cause of uneasy reflections to you: yet I cannot comfort you, but here declare, that it is not in the power of art, time, or accident, to lessen the inexpressible passion, which I have for ——. Put my passion under the utmost restraint; send me as distant from you as the earth will allow, yet you cannot banish those charming ideas which will ever stick by me, while I have the use of memory: nor is the love I bear you only seated in my soul; for there is not a single atom of my frame, that is not blended with it. Therefore, do not flatter yourself that separation will ever change my sentiments: for I find myself unquiet in the midst of silence, and my heart is at once pierced with sorrow and love. For Heaven's sake, tell me, what has caused this prodigious change in you, which I have found of late. If you have the least remains of pity for me left, tell it me tenderly. No — do not tell it so, that it may cause my present death. And do not suffer me to live a life like a languishing death, which is the only life I can lead, if you have lost any of your tenderness for me.

FROM MISS VANHOMRIGH.
SELLBRIDGE, 1720.
TELL me sincerely, if you have once wished with earnestness to see me, since I wrote to you: no, so far from that you have not once pitied me, though I told you how I was distressed. Solitude is insupportable to a mind which is not easy. I have worn out my days in sighing, and my nights with watching, and thinking of —— who thinks not of me. How many letters shall I send you before I receive an answer? Can you deny me, in my misery, the only comfort which I can expect at present? O! that I could hope to see you here, or that I could go to you. I was born with violent passions, which terminate all in one, that unexpressible passion I have for you. Consider the killing emotions which I feel from your neglect of me; and show some tenderness for me, or I shall lose my senses. Sure you cannot possibly be so much taken up, but you might command a moment to write to me, and force your inclinations to so great a charity. I firmly believe, if I could know your thoughts (which no human creature is capable of guessing at, because never any one living thought like you) I should find you had often in a rage, wished me religious, hoping then I should have paid my devotions to Heaven: but that would not spare you; for were I an enthusiast, still you would be the deity I should worship. What marks ​are there of a deity, but what you are to be known by? You are present every where: your dear image is always before my eyes. Sometimes you strike me with that prodigious awe I tremble with fear: at other times a charming compassion shines through your countenance, which revives my soul. Is it not more reasonable to adore a radiant form one has seen, than one only described?

FROM GEORGE ROCHFORT, ESQ.
WEDNESDAY MORNING,
I FIND myself stand in need of the advice I bestowed on you the other night, and therefore if you have not got rid of your cold, I would prescribe a small jaunt to Belcamp this morning. If you find yourself thus disposed, I will wait for you here in my boots: the weather may perhaps look gloomy ​at the deanery; but I can assure you it is a fine day in the parish, where we set up for as good tastes as our neighbours: to convince you of mine, I send you this invitation. I am, dear sir, your much obliged and obedient servant,

FROM MRS. HOWARD.
SEPTEMBER, 1727.
I DID desire you to write me a love letter; but I never did desire you to talk of marrying me. I would rather you and I were dumb, as well as deaf, for ever, than that should happen. I would take your giddiness, your headach, or any other complaint you have, to resemble you in one circumstance of life. So that I insist upon your thinking yourself a very happy man, at least whenever you make a comparison between yourself and me. I likewise insist upon your taking no resolution to leave ​England till I see you; which must be here, for the most disagreeable reason in the world, and the most shocking; I dare not go to you. Believe no body, that talks to you of the queen, without you are sure the person likes both the queen and you. I have been a slave twenty years, without ever receiving a reason for any one thing I ever was obliged to do; and I have now a mind to take the pleasure, once in my life, of absolute power; which I expect you to give me, in obeying all my orders, without one question why I have given them.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 12/From Frances Worsley to Jonathan Swift - 1

FROM LADY WORSLEY.
I FLATTER myself, that if you had received my last letter, you would have favoured me with an answer; therefore I take it for granted it is lost.
​I was so proud of your commands, and so fearful of being supplanted by my daughter, that I went to work immediately, that her box might not keep her in your remembrance, while there was nothing to put you in mind of an old friend, and humble servant. But Mrs. Barber's long stay here (who promised me to convey it to you) has made me appear very negligent. I doubt not but you think me unworthy of the share (you once told me) I had in your heart. I am yet vain enough to think I deserve it better than all those flirting girls you coquet with. I will not yield (even) to dirty Patty, whom I was the most jealous of when you was last here. What if I am a great grandmother, I can still distinguish your merit from all the rest of the world; but it is not consistent with your good breeding to put one in mind of it; therefore I am determined not to use my interest with sir Robert for a living in the Isle of Wight, though nothing else could reconcile me to the place. But if I could make you archbishop of Canterbury, I should forget my resentments, for the sake of the flock, who very much want a careful shepherd. Are we to have the honour of seeing you, or not? I have fresh hopes given me; but I dare not please myself too much with them, lest I should be again disappointed. If I had it as much in my power, as my inclination, to serve Mrs. Barber, she should not be kept thus long attending; but I hope her next voyage may prove more successful. She is just come in, and tells me you have sprained your foot, which will prevent your journey till the next summer; but assure yourself the Bath is the only infallible cure for such an accident. If you have any regard remaining for me, ​you will show it by taking my advice; if not, I will endeavour to forget you, if I can. But, till that doubt is cleared, I am, as much as ever, the dean's obedient humble servant,
F. WORSLEY.

FROM FRANCIS GEOGEGHAN, ESQ.
YOUR time is precious, your curiosity not very small, my esteem of you very great; therefore come not within the walls of the four courts in hopes of hearing a matrimonial decree in this reign; for on Monday, (viz.) that is to say, the 10th of this instant March, 1728, his excellency Thomas Wyndham, esq., lord high chancellor of Ireland, pronounced, after your back was turned, and not with the assistance of the two chiefs, his decree in the case of Stewart v. Stewart, on A. Powel to this effect: — He said there was a full consent till such time as the draught of the settlement was sent down to Mrs. Stewart, to be considered by her and her friends; and after she had considered it, she shall not be at liberty to make any objections; for all restrictions of marriage are odious in the civil law, and not favoured by the common law, especially after the age of one and twenty; therefore marry they may, and let Mr. Nutley be a lawyer for Mrs. Rebecca Stewart, the plaintiff, to take care of the settlement ​for her advantage, and let Powel choose another lawyer for himself; though by the by, Mr. Nutley would serve for both; and it is not necessary to inquire what Powel makes by his practice, although he assured the mother it amounted to one thousand four hundred pounds per annum.

You will, I hope, excuse this liberty in one, who, to resent the indignity offered to you by Ram's coachman, made him drunk soon after at Gory; which so incensed the aforesaid Ram, that he discharged him his service, and he is now so reduced, that he has no other way of getting his bread but by crying in this city, "Ha' you any dirt to carry out?" I am, sir, your sincere friend and humble servant.
