I have now treated you with a dish of Turkish politics.
have by this time gotten into England, and your ears and mouth are full of "Reform Burdett, Gale Jones
, minority, last night's division, dissolution of Parliament, battle in Portugal," and all the cream of forty newspapers.
In my t'other letter, to which I am perpetually obliged to refer, I have offered some moving topics on the head of your
Miscellany
, the neglect of which I attribute to the half guinea annexed as the indispensable equivalent for the said volume.
Now I do hope, notwithstanding that exorbitant demand, that on your return you will find it selling, or, what is better, sold, in consequence of which you will be able to face the public with your new volume, if that intention still subsists.
My journal, did I keep one, should be yours. As it is I can only offer my sincere wishes for your success, if you will believe it possible for a brother scribbler to be sincere on such an occasion.
