proper education of his children, in Great Britain or
elsewhere.
As this, however, is the most vital part of the West
India Question, in the opinion of the Reviewer, and a•
ANCLus has not met it by any arguments supported by
facts, I shall farther develoi•e the question, by taking
another case, where very low wages are stated to have
been given, on the authority of an author who was an
enthusiast in favour of Negro Emancipation.

LETTERS FROM LORI) BYRON TO HIS
MOIHER.

I.—TO TUE TIONOURABLE MRS. BYRON.
Newstead-Abbey, Oct. 7, 1808.
My DEAR Morrierr-1 I have not, beds for the !Vt.,
tvw for any one at present. The H.'s can xleep at Mans•,
field. I do not know that Iran be compared with Jean-
Jacques Rousseau. 1 have not the ambition to resem-
ble so illustrious a fool ; but this 1 know, that I will live
as I like, and as secluded as possible. When my apart-
ments are ready, 1 shall be delighted to receive you.
At present that would be inconvenient, and would in-
commode both )ou and me. You cannot be displeased
that I have made the bowie habitable, notwithstanding
my departure for Persia in March, or in May at West,
since you will occupy it till my return ; and is
case of accident (for I Irate already made my
will, which shall be drawn in due form as 53011 if
1 am of age), I have settled that you shall have the
house and grounds during your life, and also a
sufficient allowance. You see, then„ that my improve•
ments do not entirely arise from selfishness. As I have
a friend here, we shall go to the ball for the sick* on the
12th; we shall drink tea with Mistress Myron at eight
o'clock, and we expect to see you at the ball. If this
Lady would procure us a couple of rooms to dress in,
we should be much obliged to her. If we are at the
ball at ten or eleven o'clock it will be sous enough...—
We shall return to Newstead by three or four o'clock
—Adieu; believe me very sincerely,

BYftON.

2.—TO TILE SAME.
/freistead Abbey, Nov. 2, ittoi.
MY DEAR MOTHER—We will forget, if you please,
the things you speak of, I hate no wish to remember
them. When my apartments are ready, I shall be de-
lighted to see you. As I speak but the truth, you should
not suspect me of using deceit. I furnish the house more
for you than myself, and shall put you in possession be-
fore I set sail for India, which, I hope, will take place
in March next,' if no obstacle present itself. lam now
putting the green drawing-room in order, the red will
serve as a sleeping-room, they will soon be ready- -at
least I hope so.
I would wish you to ask Major Watson (who is an
old Indian) what things it %%11 be necessary to furnish
myself with for my voyage. I have already found a
friend, who had undertaken to write- to the Arabic
Professor at Cambridge, to ask him for some testimo-
nials which lam desirous of obtaining. I shall easily
procure from Government letters to Ambassadors, Con-
suls, &c. also for the Governors of Calcutta and Madras.
I shall put my effects and will in the hands of trustees,
amongst whom it is my intention to place you. I have
heard nothing of H—. As soou as I do hear any
thing, I will inform yhir of the circumstances.
After all, you must admit that my project is not a
bad one. If Ido not morel now, I shall never do it;
and all men ought to travel one day or other. I have
not at present any tie which keeps me at home—nei-
ther wile, nor sisters to get married, nor brothers, nor
. &c. I shall take care of yon, and when I return I,
shall make, perhaps, a legislator. Some years passed
in other countries will not render me less capable of
sustaining this character. If we do not travel in other
countries than our own, we cannot be just towards man-
kind. It is from our own experience, and not from
books, that we ought to judge of men.—l am, &c.
BYRON.
