December 24, 1810.
J AM sorry, my friend, you no longer fre
quent the festive table* of your friend*;
as you cannot renounce these parties of
| good cheer, without depriving yourself of a
very exquisite gratification. And to tell
you th* truth. I am sorry likhdia* upon an
other account: a* lam afraid you will
lo*e the little knowledge you had acquired
in the art of cookery, and be absolutely at
a loss how to act forth a tolerable dinner
For a* you made no very considerable im
provement* ia this faaftionablescjence, even
yhPWfoue models for
ynflHfoft.m.T wgff ‘mt».ge*hwlrirard <
thing* must your entertainments prove now,
th’kt you enjoy no longer the same advan
tages f When I informed L—— of this
wonderful revolution in the system of your
affairs, he shook hi* prophetick bead, and
declared that it portended some terrible
.disaster to the commonwealth; unless, said
be, (his extraordinary phenomenon be oc
casioned by the present cold weather, and
your friend should return with the zephyrs
to his accustomed train of life. But with
out a Joke, my dear friend, I would advise
you to spend your time in the cheerful so
ciety of a set of worthy and agreeable
frlendg: a* there Is nothing, In my estima
tion. that more effectually contribute* to the
happiness of human lift. When I say th|s,
I do not mean with respect to the sensual
gratification* of the palate, but with regard
to that pleasing relaxation of the mind
which I* bent produced by th* freedom of
social converse, and which to always most
agreeable at the boar of meal*. For this
reason the Latin language is much happi
er, 1 think, than the Greek, in the tern* it
employ* to express assemWie* of thb sort.
In she latter they are called by a word
which signifies comftorationej whereas in
the former they arc more emphatically
styled meetings; intimating that
it is in a communication of this nature, that
life is most truly enjoyed. You see lam
endeavouring fo bring philosophy to my as
sistance in recalling you to the table* of
your friends; and indeed I prescribe them
as th* best recipe for the re-establishment
of your health. /’Z/ZZO.
