PLATE 23.
PUNCH AGNEE (penance by the heat of five fires).
This is among the various penances performed by the Hindoo Devotees, annually during the three hottest months, April, May, and June. Within a square space, of about 2 1/2 or 3 feet, he seats himself upon a small mat, cross-legged, as illustrated in this Plate, with the Pooran in his hand, which he continues to read during three hours, retaining the same posture immovably the whole time, whilst the fierce rays of the mid-day sun dart upon his bare head. Four fires, consisting of as many piles of dried cow-dung (commonly called Kund), and placed in the four corners of the mat, are kept up in full blaze. These fires produce a very ardent flame, and, consequently, an almost insupportable heat. The penitent does not shave during the whole of this probationary period, viz. three months. "Punch Agnee" signifies "Five Fires:" the Sun, above the head of the Devotee, is considered the fifth.

PLATE 12.
This concludes the ceremony performed by the Brahmins daily in their sacred stream, or on the banks of the river. The generality of the Hindoos, however, do not adhere strictly to the performance of every part of the ceremonies enjoined by their Poorans and Shasters, but merely repeating the first few Moodras, and then, sprinkling some water on the head, they go home. It is all a matter of conscience with the inferior sects of Hindoos whether they perform the ceremonies prescribed by their religion strictly, or otherwise; these consisting generally of the working classes and men of business, who are forced to shorten their devotion from press of time, and various other causes.

PLATE 22.
POOJA TO HUNOOMAN.
Hunooman was born on a Saturday, and took his seat, for the first time, in the Council of War on a Tuesday: on the same day he was first worshipped. The Brahmin, having terminated his devotions, repeats the Sundhya, and one thousand verses of the Gayatri: he bathes the Idol; and mixing up some vermilion and ghee, he smears the image all over with it: then places before it his offering of rice, sweetmeats, boiled gram, cocoa-nut, bale-leaves, red flowers, chikor-leaves, dhoopghass (hay), betel-leaves, and areeka-nuts. A small cake of flour and treacle is placed in the bottom of a kutora, over which the Devotee pours water from an abkhora with a brass spoon. The lighted artee, and all brass vessels, as in the other Poojas. He then joins his hands, and repeats the following
Translation of the Pooja of Hunooman.
The worshipper here makes the signs with his fingers of the Unga-nyás, as repeated in the Sundhya; then the Hridayadinyas: then closing his eyes, and folding his arms, he repeats the following:—

As the two remaining figures of the eight Moodras in the "Gáyatri-Jup" are performed by a change of posture, I have given the full figure of the praying devotee; the right arm resting over the knee of his right leg, the great toe of which foot he holds with the thumb and index.

THE BRAHMIN'S FIRST CEREMONY ON ENTERING THE GANGES.
He repeats the Gungashtuk.
Having terminated his prayers to the Gooroo, he quits his place of repose; and filling a brass vessel, called Julpatree, he commences by washing his face and rubbing his teeth, praying at the same time, that all impurity may thus be cleansed away from him, and he be made as pure within as without. Then, proceeding to the river-side, he enters the Ganges, knee-deep, sprinkles a little water, by a quick jerk of the right-hand, over his head; and holding some in the half-closed palm of the same hand, he addresses the great Deity Bhagwan in the following words:—
"Vishnu! Vishnu! Vishnu! Adoration to the supreme Deity! the first eternal male! the resplendent sun! May the benefits that result from this adoration be bestowed (on such a person—naming himself) performing worship in Jambu Dwípa (India) in the second portion of the life of Brahma, in the Kalpa of Varáha, in the Manwantara (or reign of the Manu) Vaivaswata, at this holy spot on (such) a year (such) a fortnight, when the sun was in an auspicious sign! for I am desirous of fulfilling the duties which are enjoined by the Purans, the Smriti (law), and the Srutí (or Vedas)."
This said, he plunges several times in the Ganges; and while he rubs each member of his body in the sacred stream, he chants the following verses in praise of Gunga:—

POOJA TO SOORYA (SUN).
The image of the sun, engraved on a silver plate, is placed in a Sumput (a wide copper vessel); raw rice, coloured with red sandal, some sandal, and red flowers, dhoop ghas, betel-leaves, areca-nut, red silk, the junes, dyed red, and all the brass vessels, images, &c., as daily used at their religious ceremonies. The Devotee stands upon one leg, the right foot against the left thigh, the heel turned outwards, and holding in his hands a brass cuttora (cup), containing a smaller one made of meal-dough, filled with ghee (melted butter), with a lighted wick placed in the middle. The sign worn in this Pooja is this . The lines are drawn with sandal, and the spot in the middle with vermillion. A crystal necklace is also worn in this Poojah.

FROM ERASMUS LEWIS, ESQ.
I RECEIVED a letter from you last Monday, for my lord treasurer, in a blank cover. Last Friday lord chancellor went into the country, with a design to stay there till the tenth of August; but last ​Tuesday he was sent for express by lord Bolingbroke. Next Tuesday the queen goes to Windsor. What changes we are to have, will probably appear before she goes. Dr. Arbuthnot dines with me to day, and in the evening we go to Kensington.

FROM DR. ATTERBURY.
CHELSEA, TUESDAY MORNING.
GIVE me leave to tell you, that there is no man in England more pleased with your being preferred than I am. I would have told you so myself at your lodgings, but that my waiting confines me. I had heard a flying report of it before; but my lord Bolingbroke yesterday confirmed the welcome news to me. I could not excuse myself without saying thus much, and I have not time to say more, but that I am your most affectionate and faithful servant,
FR. ATTERBURY.

FROM MISS VANHOMRIGH.
YOU once had a maxim, which was, to act what was right, and not mind what the world would say. I wish you would keep to it now. Pray what can be wrong in seeing and advising an unhappy young woman? I cannot imagine. You cannot but know, ​that your frowns make my life unsupportable. You have taught me to distinguish, and then you leave me miserable. Now, all I beg is, that you will for once counterfeit (since you cannot otherwise) that indulgent friend you once were, till I get the better of these difficulties.

FROM MISS VANHOMRIGH.
DUBLIN, 1714.
YOU bid me be easy and you would see me as often as you could. You had better have said, as often as you could get the better of your inclinations so much; or, as often as you remembered there was such a one in the world. If you continue to treat me as you do, you will not be made uneasy by me long. It is impossible to describe what I have suffered since I saw you last. I am sure I could have born the rack much better than those killing words of yours. Sometimes I have resolved to die without seeing you more; but those resolves, to your misfortune, did not last long. For, there is something in human nature, that promps one so to find relief in this world, I must give way to it: and beg you would see me and speak kindly to me, for I am sure, you would not condemn any one to suffer what I have done, could you but know it. The reason I write to you is, because I cannot tell it to you should I see you. For, when I begin to ​complain, then you are angry; and there is something in your looks so awful, that it strikes me dumb. Oh! that you may have but so much regard for me left, that this complaint may touch your soul with pity. I say as little as ever I can; did you but know what I thought, I am sure it would move you to forgive me, and believe, I cannot help telling you this and live.

FROM THE SAME.
I WISH your last had found me in the country, but, to my misfortune, I am still kept in town, soliciting my unfortunate business. I have found great favour from his majesty. But form is a tedious thing to wait upon. Since it is my fate, I must bear it with patience, and perfect it, if I can; for there is nothing like following business one's self. I am unwilling to stir without the seals, which I hope to have soon. I have been very ill; this place never agreeing with me, and less now than ever, it being prodigious hot weather.
I know not what to say as to one part of yours; only this, that you will forgive the fears of a woman, if she says she is glad it is as it is, though it has almost ruined her. I hope, one time or other, his majesty will find my lord has been misrepresented; and, by that means, he may be restored to his country once more with honour; or else, however harsh it ​may sound out of my mouth, I had rather wear black. These are my real sentiments. I never thought myself, nor my health, of any consequence till lately; and since you tell me it is so to the unworthy, as you please to term it, I shall take care of it: for the worthy, which I once thought so, they are good for nothing, but to neglect distressed friends. Those few friends I meet with now, are worth a thousand relations: that I found long ago. We have the happiness of odd, half-witted relations, and silly, obstinate, opiniatre friends, that are a severe plague to me. I never could have the pleasure of talking one moment to the duchess of Ormond. She had always company, and some, that I wish she had not. She is now out of town, and we do not correspond at present. I wish her all happiness, and in better hands as to her business. You have a much better opinion of me than I deserve; but I will study all I can to merit that favour, which you are kind to assure me of.
I wish it were possible for us two to meet, that I might assure you, in person, that I am yours most faithfully.

FROM DR. SMALRIDGE.
WHEN you was so kind as to favour the master of the temple and me, with your company at the chaplain's table at Kensington, there dined with us one Mr. Fiddes, a well deserving clergyman, whose circumstances, we told you, were not at all suitable to his merits. You expressed on that occasion so generous a concern for him, and so great a readiness to do him any good offices, which might lie in your way, that he seems to think he should be wanting to himself, if he did not endeavour to cultivate an interest with one so willing and so able to serve him. He has therefore made repeated instances to me, that I would remind you of him, which I should not have hearkened to, were I not assured, that you would excuse, if not thank me, for furnishing you with an opportunity of doing a generous and good natured thing. You will not, I fancy, think a formal application to any great man in his behalf either proper or requisite; but if you should, upon the perusal of one or two of his sermons, think as well of them as I do, and should in conversation with my lord treasurer express a good opinion of the author, one kind word from you, seasonably dropped, might ​determine his fortune, and give you the satisfaction of having made him and his family as happy as they can wish to be.
I am, sir,
your most humble servant,
GEO. SMALRIDGE.

FROM ERASMUS LEWIS, ESQ.
WHITEHALL, JULY 24, 1714.
I SAW lord Harley this morning. He tells me, that he left you horridly in the dumps. I wish you were here; for, after giving a quarter of an hour's vent to our grief for the departure of our don Quixote, we should recover ourselves, and receive ​consolation from each other. The triumph of the enemy makes me mad, I feel a strange tenderness within myself, and scarce bear the thoughts of dating letters from this place, when my old friend is out, whose fortune I have shared for so many years. But fiat voluntas tua! The damned thing is, we are to do all dirty work. We are to turn out Monckton, and I hear we are to pass the new commission of the treasury. For God's sake write to lady Masham, in favour of poor Thomas, to preserve him from ruin. I will second it. I intended to have writ you a long letter; but the moment I had turned this page, I had intelligence that the dragon has broke out into a fiery passion with my lord chancellor, swore a thousand oaths he would be revenged. This impotent, womanish behaviour vexes me more than his being out. This last stroke shows, quantula sint hominum corpuscula. I am determined for the Bath on the second or the ninth of August at farthest.

On Tuesday the twenty-seventh of the same month he surrendered his staff as lord treasurer, and on the 30th lord Shrewsbury was appointed to succeed him in that office.
* ↑ Robert Monckton, one of the commissioners for trade and plantations, who had given information against Arthur Moore, one of his brother commissioners, for accepting a bribe from the Spanish court, to get the treaty of commerce continued.
* ↑ Mr. Thomas had been secretary under the old commission of the treasury, and he wrote to the dean, by the same post, for a recommendation to lady Masham, either to be continued in the same office under the new commissioners, or to be considered in some other manner, by way of compensation. He urges a precedent for this in the case of his predecessor, who, being removed from his post of secretary, got the office of comptroller of the lotteries, worth five hundred pounds per annum, for thirty-two years.
