THE INTERROGATIVE OR INTELLECTUAL SYSTENI
OF EDUCATION,
By Questions and Exercises without Answers.

T is now above Twenty Years since the Pro-
prietor of the under-mentioned Works submitted to
Conductors of Schools the first specimens of that series of im-
proved Elementary Books which he had planned for the pur-
pose of facilitating the Instruction of Youth, and rendering
the acquirement of Knowledge at once pleasant, rapid, and
certain.
This System has since been known to the world under the
denomination of the Interrogative System; and, as opposed to
some popular mechanical Systems, its Inventor has also de-
fined it, by way of eminence, the Thinking or Intellectual
System—from the obligation to Think, or mentally work on
the subject of study, which it imposes on the pupil ; and from
the general improvemept of the Intellectual Faculties, of
which habitual mental exercise is a necessary consequence.
This System, in the popular works published under the
names ofGoldsmitb, Blair, Barrow, Adair, &e. has been in-

traduce(' ipto pearly every School of character in the British

Empire, and has met with a degree of approbation far ex-
cee.ding the original expectations of its author. The princi-
ple of teaching by Questions without Answers, Nqich re-
quires that the pupil should furnish.auswers to qtlestions,
often complicated, from the scattered data of his book, de-
manded various preparations on the part of the tutor; but
the publication of the Tutor's Key,• containing answers to
above six thousand questions, has removed every difficulty in
practice.

Among the competitors of the Interrogative System, the
respected name of Pestalozzi has appeared; hut it ought to
be known that his System is precisely that to which the public
attention is now invited, but which was taught in England
many years before the name of Pestalozzi in any manner
transpired. Others have annexed questions to their books,
and claimed kindred merit; but, by an unhappy misconcep-
tion of the principle, their questions accord in arrangement
exactly with the order of the data to which they refer, and
therefore afford no• exercise to the intellectual faculties.
Others, again, have so far mistaken the term 4' Interrogative
System," as to obtrude on the public, under its sanction, a
series of books on the obsolete plan of question and answer.
While others ha►e basely imitated both'the inventor's plan
and his books, and have produced various superficial, vulgar,
and inadequate compilations, whose only recommendations
have been their close imitation of his Title-pages, Types,
Ornaments, and Bindings.
As a means of protecting the Public against all such arti-
fices, and of supporting the reputation of his series of Books,
he has therefore judged it expedient to subjoin a Complete
List of these Original Works:—

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

We find that the sentiments which we have ex-
pressed respecting the removal of the Al'ied troops.
from France, are supported by the opinions of
several intelligent and judicious Provincial Jour•
nalists. Among others, the Editor of The Cork
ddvertizier of the 20th inst., adverting to the de•
termination of the Sovereigns, expresses hicnseif
in the following terms :

" We hope the decision will not he productive of injurious
consequences, and that the sacrifice of common prudence to
the gratification of French feelings will he received by that
nation as it ought; but we confess our fears of the reverse
are much stronger. One of our principal objections to the
measure, was always that which seems to have recommended
the adoption of it to others who have reflected on the sub.'
ject. It was right, they say, to remove a source of irritation
from the people of France, the natural effect of which will
be to attach them to the present order of things. We think.
it was wrong not to continue, as long as the Treaty of Paris
would admit, a wholesome restraint on their disposition to
disturb the peace of their neighbours, and this iidepem.
dently of the danger to France itself from their political dis-
sentions.—The French arc an arrogant, ambitious, vain-
glorious people, and it would tend to abate their prnir, and
to impress them with some degree of moderation in -.heir
pretentious, were they habituated to foreivi coutroul. cry
year, the disciples of the Buonapartian school are pAssing•
away, and their places wilt be F upplied by others wl),,t! na-
tional propensities might be disciplined and corrected by the
continued evidence of their humiliation."

We subjoin the following article taken from the
same Pryer, as it relates to an Election which
excited no slight notice, and may amuse many of
our Irish Readers :
" COUNTY ELECTION CASE AND OPINIONS.

" In the course of the last week, the case and opinions of
Counsel on the subject of our late County Election were fully
published in a contemporary Print, for the purpose, as is
stated in a prefaratory paragraph, ' of shewing, that nothing
had been kept back open which it was of value that advice
should be had, and that every circumstance against, as well
as for the Petitions, was' fairly and ingenuously set
forth.' We doubt much whether the purpose of our
contemporary has been answered by the publication.
We doubt if nothing has been kept back upon which it
was of value that advice should he had,' inasmuch as the case
is utterly silent as to the foundation of the opinion upon
which the High Sheriff acted—we mean the statutes pecu-
liar to Ireland, requiring Sheriffs to appoint Baronial nmoths, '
on getting previous notice Crum the Candidates. We doubt
if it was quite fair or ingenuous, not to refer the Learned
English Counsel to these Laws, which do not ferm a part of
the British Election Code;—and we are the more inclined to
doubt when we find one of the Gentlemen stating as his rear
sen for thinking no notice to the Sheriff necessary, that '%lie
was not aware of any statutc to that effect.' We also doubt •
as to the propriety of publishing the opinions of Counsel in •
Newspapers, particularly those opinions ' given in the coun-
try,' where the Juris-consult has no opportunity of ' refer-
ring to the statutes', unless indeed be be informed when
consulted, that he is to appear in flint. We doubt, if such
intimation had been given to Mr. Scarlet, whether be would
have written his 6rstonswer in so careless a style as to trans-
gress the primary Syntactic rules. of his native language.
' If he had the necessary qualification before he took his seat,
by not baring it at the time of the Election, no objection.
being made on that account, would not affect his right to be
elected.' We doubt if Priscian himself could tell us what

is governed by, by not having,' &c. or could point out a
nominative case to the verb, would not affect,' &c. We
doubt if it was fairer ingenuous to the unsuccessful candidate,
to introduce into the case the very humorous pretension
' that he most certainly would have got a sufficient qualifr-
cation before the return of the writ, at all events before he
took his seat,' that is to say, 6001. per annum freehold estate
(risum te►►eutis!) We doubt if his independent supporters,
who arc so anxious to seat hire in St. Stvphen's, do not un-
derstand pecuniary matters better tha❑ to sport 6001. per
annum, for having hint a County Member, when they could
purchase a Borough for him for about 35u01.: but we beg
pardon of their honours, for supposing that they would con-
descend to deal in the Buruuehmun►;ering Market. We
doubt the fairness to him at least of introducing his unim-
peachable integrity—which the Patriots say is not a necessary
qualification fur a Member of Parliament in these degenerate
times—for we fear that if inquiry were set on foot, and cer-
tain records in our Crown-ollice of conviction for Libel, as-
saulting a Sheriff, &c. examilied, many plain ignorant people
would doubt whether Horace would style him integer
vitae,' &c. We further doubt if it was fair, ingenuous, or
necessary, to introduce into the statement, that a highly re-
spectable Gentleman, one of the petitioners, was at the time
of the Election ' iu confinement for debt to a large amount,'
when it was well known that he was then, as be always has
been, free from any personal restraint, and both able and
willing to pay his debts, if he owed any, of which we have
also our doubts. Indeed, as to thiS unlucky erratum, which
the printers followed up, by printing it twice, we have ano-
ther doubt, and that is, whether the Gentleman substituted
in a contemporary print of last Saturday night was a peti-
tioner. Lastly, on the subject of this memorable Election
and its curious consequences, we doubt, most doubtingly, the
sincerity of a sort of offer of gratuitous services to any inde-
pendent Gentleman who may be induced to be a Ounlidate
at a new Election, as set forth in an advertisement calling a
meeting of Agents, Attornies, Clerks, et hoc genus mine,'
at Scragg's Tavern.

"On —some points, however, we hare no doubt.—We agree
with our Contemporary, that there was gross mockery' at
the Election ; but the mystifiers were those highly respect-
able Electors, who sought to ridicule a serious function of
our Constitution, by proposing a Candidate merely for fun.
We have uo doubt, that every Freeholder of this great Coun-
ty, who regards its peace, its representation, and its charac-
ter, will indignantly refuse to lend himself to a set of tura
composed of discontented or self-interested agitators, to aid
them in disturbing a return, which may perhaps be nut for-
mally legal, but which would certainly be the result of a New
Election. The Yard• well know that-they cannot find a man
of property so fatuous, as to waste his money in a hopeless
contested Election, even though the Meeting at Scragg's
give him ' their sweet and aubought voices.' "

NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—Yesterdays was the day
appointed for the public examination of 1000
children, educated in the principles of the Esta-
blished Church, in Whitechapel. All the consta-
bles and parish beadles were drawn out as early
as 12 o'clock, at the School-house, in Whitechas
pel-road ; they were dressed in their best liveries,
and formed a line from the School-house, keeping
clear a passage from the dour to the road. A
great crowd collected, principally the parents and
relatives of the children ; and, about half-past
one o'clock, the Lord Bishop of LONDON, at-
tended by several other Patrons, arrived in their
carriages, and were ushered into tbe. School-
room by the Committee. The Secretary dim
read the report, and the boys were examined in
the usual form ; after which the friends and pro-
moters of the School repaired to the London 'fa-
rem, where they dined.

[FROM THE MORNINti PApEnS Or Trns 'DAY.]
[Morning Chronicle]
'ST. HELENA.

TROISLATED FROM THE -FRENCH.

Leteguiood, August 16,1018.
MY DEAR LAS CAsAs.—On the 7th of June I received the
letter you did me the honour to write to me on 15th of Ja-
nuary last. Since the.n I received, on the 14th instant, those
of the 15th of February, 15th of larch., and 15th of April,
which I have communicated. They have'induced the It mperor
to direct me to write to You. Four months ago I received a
case of Books and Pamphlets, addressed to me by Mr. Goul-

burn; and since then, a very obliging otrer to send out a pic-

Lure which was found in the Chamber at St. Cloud, relating

to the baptism of young Napoleon. Mr Henry Goillburn was
so kind as to bate dowl the pricer of the said picture, and to

get the proprietor of it to reduce its prier one half. That offer

conk! not he accepted, on account of ifs appearing to form

s,petr a contrast with what takes place here ; and as it seemed
toleadto Parliamentary diicussi;uts Of a siiaiiir nature
to those regarding the wioden house. Nevertheless, the rery
kind behavionr.you have experienced, and all you tell rue in

y. our last letter, strike me most powerfully I confess.
Can it be possible that the horrible vexations we experience

Are not with the cogpizaner of the English Government

Con Gor•ernwents and PI Ames be so easily deceived ? It is
in this state of doubt that I now write to y u.

'filings art materially altered since your departure. In the
year 1817, and this of 18►8, the vexations practised against
the Emperor are increased to that degree, that they can only

be considered as an attempt upon his life. You .shall judge
of this by the drtail. You cannot but have read in the News.

papers of the month of March, certain observations upon the
speech of Lord Bathurst, but since then things have got much
worse, and the hatred of the Governor of this Country has no

loni;er had•anv limits.

When you left, the Emperor gave up riding on horseback,
to avoid the. snares and the insults prepared for him by ex-
posing him to The insolence of the •sentinels;—he has been
since obliged to debar himself es en from .walking exercise, to
avoid similar incormniencies. During the months of March
and April the Emperor occasionally vent ont to come and see
My wife; and sometimes, too, he used to seat himself fifty
paces from the house, upon the bench which you know, where
he would remain half an hour or an hour. They devised
means to prevent this, and to oblige him to confine himself
closely to' his room. They were aware that was no difficult
task. They appointed a soldier of the Gfith for the gardener,
and they stationed at my house a serjeant or overseer of the ,
worktuen-•--both very useful at the house, either to remove any •
noxious Weeds which might infect the air (far it is an impos-
iibility to have a garden on such a spot as this), or to repair
the house, which is in ruins, and admits the water upon every
shower. All that appeared very reasonable; but the Governor
invested these two soldiers with the power of stopping whom-
soever they pleased, at the very doors and under the very
windows of the Emperor From that moment he has never
been out, and it is now upwards of a hundred days that 'he
bab not put his head out of the windows.
This climate, this entire deprivation of exercise, and this
miserable habitation, have impaired his health, so much so,
that you would not know him again. Ever since the end of.
september, 1817. he has felt the first symptoms of the chro-
nic hepathetis, which you are aware is mortal in this coun-
try. The good O'Meara-attended him, in whom, yon know,
be has confidence. Sir Hudson Lowe, in the mouth of April,

_At the very time this Doctor was most necessary to him, re-
duced hint to th.' necessity of giving in his resignation,-and
wanted to foist upon him Mr. Baxter,whom you all know.
lire Emperor refused to see any medical attendant. From
the lUth of April to the ,10th of May, he was without a
Doctor, and at last the Russian and Austrian Commissioners,
who were sent, out here, being indignant at this treat-
pent, gave the Governor to understand, that it the Emperor
should die in that situation, they themselves would be at a
Iris's what to say, if the opinion should prevail in Europe
that be had been assassinated. It appears this decided the
Governor to reinstate the Doctor, but there is no species of
ill-treatment they did not make him suffer. They wanted to
get him driven from the table of the Officers of the With, but
these brave soldiers disdaining to participate in so arbitrary
an act, Sir Hudson Lowe himself gave orders to the Doctor,
through the Cohmel, to discontinue to mess with the said
Officers. He has written to London, and it is probable they
sill drive the Doctor away. The Emperor will receive no
other;_ and if the Prince Regent or Lord Liverpool decline
taking cognizance of this fact, he will die here of disease,
deprived even of the assistance of his Doctor. The Emperor
is, however, now very ill, and has been for two months,.

lie rises at eleven oclock in the morning, and retires again.

at two. Some few days ago, he had an alarming crisis from
the effects of the mercury which Doctor O'Meara bad given
Lim, that bving prescribed for the liver complaint. Doctor
O'Meara being alarmed at hisfeesponsihility, proposed to me
that we should call in Mr. Baxter and the Surgeon of the
Conqueror. They are the two principal medical men in
this country. Too know what repugnance the Emperor
felt against Mr. Baxter, arising from his having for-
merly been a Surgeon-Major in the Italian battalion com-
manded by Sir H. Lowe : this aversion is since much
heightened, from the circumstance of his having lent himself,
from the month of October, 1817, to the month of March,
1818, io drawing up false bulletins, replete with untruths,
which have deceived both his own Government art Europe;
but he saw no impropriety. although he cared little about it,
at our having a Mr. Stockoe called in, and he did, in fact,
come to Longwood the same day at three o'clock in the after-
noon, but would not go in to the Emperor, feeling that
his responsibility was compromised, and that he was in
danger of losing the place he had acquired by forty years'
That appeared to me so extraordinary, that I mild
not credit it, and I saw him. He expressed to ine his re-
gret, for he is a very respectable old man, and easily ex-
plained the thing. He had been lightly given to understand
he might go, in the same way as they did to Mr. Coles, the
banker, whom you know. 1 had some money account to
settle with him, and sent for him, but when he came.
Its skid he would not enter upon the subject, except in the
presence of the Orderly Officer, for if ime did he should he
lust. Of course I declined' that. The. same case happened
a few days ago with Mr. Fowler, who has arrived from En-
gland, I had an account to settle ..?ith him amounting; to a
few hundred nunds, for sonkj clothes made in London.
True it is, that you are not aware of the situation we are

sertice.

ill IOW; it can iii DO instance he ecYmphreCl with on? tits-

atiun in your time, and even then it was bad enough ; and
you sufficiently know Ibis Prince to induce you to use your
influence to prevent' any of the Emperor's family.from coin-
ing out here. The spectacle of the humiliations, the vexations,
the hatred he is -1,, prey to, would_ be ufterly insupportable,

were his mother or any of his brothers to come and share

them. Even Co►nt de Montholon and myself, who are now

the only persons with him, have been. repeatedly pressed by
him to go and release ourselves from the little treatment, and

to leave him to himself. He assures us his agony would he
less acute if he did not see that we also were the victims of
this misery. You remember the Officers have not visited me
for a long time, but whenever they'met us on the road, they

.had the civility to stop and gossip with my wife. They have
now beon forbidden to do that, not in writing, hut by insi-
nuation,sb that it has frequently happened that these OE-
ficers, on perceiving us, have turned away out of the road.
Things have now come to such a pitch, that the foul linen
remains several days to be searched by the Orderly Captain,

and sometimes by the Etat-Major. This scene is not only
highly indecent, hut very humiliating to thew ; its only pur-

pose is insult and outrage.
In the month of June 'MG; a store•sbip brought out a
marble bust of Young Napoleon. Sir Hutisati Lowe directed
that it should, he thrown into the sea ; he afterwards denied
it, but we have a judicial attestation of it; fur this act dis-
glfsted bath Lady pslcolm, who was then still here,- and all

the Commanders of the store-ships who were then here.
After that, in the month' of February last, the Store-ship,
the Cambridge, brought out two engravings or prints of
Young!Napoleon, which he had purchased upon the Quays at
Loodou. Sir H. Lowe had them bought, stating litt'intetitled
them as a present to the father ; and when, a month after-
wards, the Officers of that ship learnt the centraly to be the
fact (viz. in order to keep them from hint) they were no
longer able to dissemble their indignation at such an act
having been committed by an Englishman.
All this conduct, on the part of the Governor, cannot
be disguised or withheld from the British Government. If
what the Emperor tald Lord Amherst were repeated in
London; if they inquired of Captain Popleton, who was the
Orderly Officer for two years, and whom you know ; if they
interrogated Colonel Nichols, of the 66th ; if they asked
Colonel Fehrzen, of the 53d, and'many others, they must be
aware of the base conduct pursued here.

If the Emperor has aoy enemy in Europe who. would hare
applauded-the English Goverment if they had openly and
publicly put him to death on board the Bellerophon,
their can be none who will not one day load with impreca-
tions and opprobrium the authors of his destruction in so das-
tardly a manner.
_ _ _

How can this be reconciled with what you write me ? Pos-
sibly by some crafty correspondence teeming with lies and
prepared with cunning address. We have at all times, for
two years, preferred our complaints preity openly, and they
ought to be informed in London of the criminal conduct ob-
served here.

You will be amazed at my mentioning the French, Ans-
trian, and Russian Commissioners who are here. Whilst you
were here we never saw them. Even now they have not seen
the Emperor, nor have they visited us; but we have met
them several times on the roads of the boundary, a ridicu-
lous way enough.. If the Emperor has not acknowledged
them as Commissioners, he has never refused to receive them

as strangers. As to the Governor, he has not. seen him since
the month of August 1616, and yon are acquainted with the
Emperor's reasonsior not receiving hint, after the insults he
has offered him. In this state of things, that Sir H. Lowe
should take revenge, may be explained, although, most un-

questionably, h does not give proof of any generosity of cha-
racter ; but what explanation can be given for the Govern-
ment's continuing, for two years, its confidence in a man who

so sarprizingly abuses it ?
I implore you then, instantly, and iii the name of the Em-
peror, ti) 'acquaint his family and his relations with the
tuation of things in this country, and to require imperiously
that none of them come here to aggravate his misfortunes
by wishing to share them.
You tell us that the English Government has contracted
for our being supplied with The Alnruixg Chronicle. It is
the same with this Journal as with The Times: they do send
it to us, keeping back those Numbers it 'is convenient to
withhold. Tints they have sent us some Numbers for Fe-
bruary, and some for March, bat they have kept back all
they did not wish us to see. Not to have a series of Journals,
is worse than having none.
How do they send us the Books ? As soon as a store-ship
arrives, the Governor's first care is to buy up all the Books
she has, especially the French, to prevent our buying them.
With regard to the Pamphlets you advise us of, we have
only received up to the 12th of March, one entire case, a list
of which you will find inclosed, and on the 28th of the same
month seven volumes, of which you will also find inclosed a
specification. This leafs us to believe they probably hare
withheld the remainder.
.0
I have read this letter to the Emperor, and hehas approved
the contents, thinking, however, that I have only faintly ex-
pressed the baseness of the conduct observed towards him.
He desires me to add two Aportellcs (Notes), wWch will put
you in possession of his real opinion of the Officer to whom
they have confided the custody of. this Island. The Calomel
bas not hitherto improved the state of his liver, and has been 1
the cause of other indisposition.
Accept, my dear Las Casas, the assurance of my affectionate '
sentiments. (Signed) LE C'l'E. BERTRAND.
I'. S. In the few days which have elapsed since my letter
was written, many occurrences have taken place which will
prove to you how notch worse our situation grows instead of
better, as you seem to think. Yon know that Captain Mackay,
an Officer in the ,3d, was succeeded as Orderly Officer, at
Longwood, by Captain Pupleton, of the same regiment, and
he, on his departure, was succeeded by Captain Blakenly, of
the 86th, an qtficer who, like his predecessors, enjoyed the
highest character in the regiment. Within avert few days of
his arrival he found that the Governor required things of tin
very unworthy of a man of honour ; but as that ,evil sensibly
increased, he urgently requested, as soon as his year'sservice
in that disgusting post expired, that he might be relieved
from it. We know that he declared, confidentially, to his
friends in the regiment, that it was impossilile for a man of
honour to continue in that post, without forfeiting his own'
good opinion. It may he too, that Sir H. Lowe was not sa-
tisfied with the avowed sentnuents of this Captain; but, how-
ever that may be, on the intli of this month, one of the Of-
ficers sent out to the island to hold a command in the Militia,
and whose old cosine:6.km with Sir H. Lowe you are no strait-
. ger to. and t he only person on the Governor's Staff whom the
' Emperor refused to see, came and assumed the post of the
orderly officer, and with him, under sundry pretexts, another
officer : so that we have now two, instead of one. It appears
that sonic Government rooms. and effects, which had been
given in common for the ordeily officer and Dr. O'Meara, had
led to some sharp alt creation I.etween. them.
On the 22(1, I addr,s-eil the Protest, marked A, to the Go-
• tat For, who had a challenge sent to me by the said Officer.
It is beneath my character and situation to provoke Sir H
Lowe; but, under these circumstances, I felt it lily duty to
• address to him the letter marked R.
Ou the 24th, he made I.k. O'Meara kart Longwoodo

eir/be, Ite said, of an oriler ?rota Lord 'Nitwit, as yoO
see by the Governor's letter, marked C, to Count de Montho-
lon, who replied to him by the letter subjoined, D.
Doctor O'Meara, as you know, was given to the Emperor
jity an Order of Council, in the place of his own I ,octur, and
in consequence of the special demand 1 addressed to Admiral
Keith. The .Emperor can only be deprived of him by an Order_
of the Council. If such an Order exists, why not let us see
it ? Unquestionably, neither the Council nor Lnrd Bathurst
might to deprive the Emperor of the Physician of his choice ;
they must be sensible of the consequence, unless they supply
his place by some other in his confidence.
But if an Order in Council to that effect did exist, that
would not justify the conduct of the Governor—for such an
()Eder, given under ordinary circumstances, could never be
intended to be put in force at a period when the Emperor was
seriously ill. It never could be their intention to relative his
Doctor, in the midst of the treatment of su serious a disorder,
which assailed his life; especially since we hare requested,
ever since the month of April, that if they intended to remove
Dr. O'Meara, they should send some one from Europe to
supply his place, who might have the patient's confidence;
which request ought to have heen answered iu less than
three months.
I conclude, my dear Las Casas, with a breaking heart,
(Signed) BERTRAND.

LETTER TO CTR D 2 MONTHOLOST
Plantation House, Ju,'y 25, 181 R,

' Stn,—l do myself the honour to acquaint you, for-the in-
formation of Napoleon Buonaparte, that by an instruction
received from Earl Bathurst, dated 16th May, 1818, I am di-
rected to withdraw Mr. O'Meara from attendance upon his
person, and hare given orders for his departure from Long-
wood accordiogly. ltear7Admiral Plamoin has received in-
structions on the same occasion from the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, in respect to him on his quitting this Island.
On the removal of Mr. O'Meara, Earl Bathurst's further in-
structions are, that I am to direct Dr. Baxter to give his me-
dical attendance to Napoleon B►ionaparte whenever it rosy
be required, and particularly instruct him on all occasions to
consiner the health of Napoleon Buonaparte as the principal
object of his attention ; that in communicating this arrange-
ment, I am not to ,fail acquainting him at the same time,
that should he have reason to be dissatisfied with Dr. Baxter's
medical attendance, or should prefer that of any other pro-
fessional man on the Island, I am perfectly prepared to
acquiesce in his wish on the subject, and to permit the :at-
tendance ofany medical practitioner selected by him, provided
that he conforms strictly to the regulations in force. Having,
therefore, conveyed to Mr. O'Meara the order for his removal;
I have given the necessary instructions to Mr. Baxter; he will
he ready in consequence to repair to Longwood on any sum-
mons or signal t hat may be mode to him. In the mean time,
until I may be informed of Napoleon Buonaparte's own de-
sires on the subject, I shall direct a medical 'Officer to be in
waiting at Longwood fur any sudden call.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
