Dublin, Dec. 9, 1732 [with seal) Begs his friend to take more care of his health. “ I do not think life is of much value, but health is worth everything, and nature acts right in making that method which prolongs life absolutely necessary to pre¬ serve health, which makes a short life and a merry a very foolish proverb. For my own part I labor for daily health as often and almost as many hours as ever man does for daily bread.” Mentions Lord Orrery, Dr. Delany, Lady Acheson, and other members of Dublin Society. 287 Nelson (Horatio, Lord) ^ A.

L. Signed “ B.” 3 pp. 4to. To Charles Ford, Esq. Paris, April 17, 1717 Speaks of his retirement from the world, and says, “ I find my ac¬ count in retiring from the living to the dead. The ingratitude you mention, and many other vices which deform the present age, were rife in Rome and Greece; they had our crimes, but not our meannesses. Their virtues and their faults were more exalted. I would not deserve the gallows, but if I did, it would be among highwaymen, and not among pickpockets.” 294 Bolingbroke (Henry St. John, Viscount) ^ A. L. 2 pp. 4to. To Charles Ford, Esq. Jan. 29, 1720 “ An interesting letter, in which both Swift and Pope are mentioned. Says he has enclosed an answer to the Dean, and then alludes to the bad state of Swift’s health. To Pope he sends “ his most humble ser¬ vice and inviolable friendship,” and complains that Prior’s Poems have been sent instead of Mr. Pope’s, and that he has not received the four volumes of Homer. Speaks of his investments, about which he has been advised by Mr. Law. 295 Bolingbroke (Henry St. John, Viscount) ^ A. L. 2 pp. 4to. To Charles Ford, Esq.

To Charles Ford, Esq. 12, 1724 (in an envelope, with seal) An interesting letter. Referring to his resignation of oflBce, he says, “ The transition from a minister of state to an hermit is a very great one in the eye of the world, but there is nothing in it hard to be bore by a, man who, whilst he is in the first, supposes he may one time or another] fall into the second. ’ Remarking on Swift's attachment to Stella, he says, “The Dean’s fancy is like that Devil which a certain conjuror] had raised, and which threatened to caiTy him away if he left him a i moment unemployed. When the Dean therefore has sung all Stella’s^ perfections over in Sonnet, Ode, Pastoral, &c., his Devil, having no more j employment, will certainly run away with him.” p 297 Bolingbroke (Henry St. John, Viscount) Correspondence with Sir John Hynde Cotton during his stay,, at the Academy in Caen and in Italy. 1739-1740.
