degree exempIifed by the following circum
stance.
An English gentleman, on his return from
making the tour, was engaged to dine with
a man of rank, and Richardson was 10 be OF
the party. 1t so happened, that the author
and traveller were the first visitors, and
being left together in the drawing room, the
tourist told Richardson he was happy IN an
opportunity of paying his respects 10 the
author of Sir Charles Grandson, " for sir,"
added he, ." at Paris. at the Hague, and m
deed at every place through which | have
passed in my tour, have met with your
book; It is translated into several iangua-
ges, and is every where admired" Rich.
ardson preserved the most profound silence,
affected not to notice the information, and
made not any, not the ieas. return 10 ihc
complments-bu when all the company
were assembled at dinner, he watched his
opportunity, ard addressed his companion
with" Sir, think you were saying some
thing of Sir Charles Grandison's reception
at Paris" No, SIR, replied the gentleman,
