The bearer of this letter. Mr.
Blackburn, is Mathematician strongly recom-
mended TO me by Mr. Sackville Hamilton, a gen
tieman who has been in important posts under
government here ; and by lady Sarah Napier,
sister to the Duke Of Richmond l am not per-
sonally acquainted with him, but they assure
me that he is 4 man of good character, witlrthe
reputation, and, indeed from the education given
to Mr.. Hamilton's sons, the certainty OF being a
man ofiearning and abilities. He might find a
good maintenance in this country, but has set his
heart on going to America, &c.
