img PROVINCIAL BOOKSELLERS, 483 which you showed me when I stood most in need of them ? Your house was my house when I had no other. , . . Sure I am that there never was a more generous or kinder heart than yours, and you will believe me when I add that there does not live that man upon earth whom I remember with more grati- tude and affection. . . . Good-night, my dear old friend and benefactor. "ROBERT SOUTHEY," BILLING, PRINTER, GUILDFORD, SURREY.
