22 was occasioned by sir Thomas Hanmer's oratory. It seems to have been no party question, there being many of both glad and sorry for it. The court has not been fortunate in their questions this session; and I hear some of both parties expressing contrary passions upon it. I tell your grace bare matters of fact, being not inclined to make reflections; and, if I were, I could not tell what to make, so oddly people are subdivided.

J. SWIFT.

SIR,

R. Frowde tells me, that you design me the honour of a visit to morrow morning; but my lord Sunderland having directed me to wait on him at nine o'clock, I shall take it as a particular favour, if you will give me your company at the George in Pall Mall about two in the afternoon, when I may hope to enjoy your conversation more at leisure, which I set a very great value upon. I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant.

J. ADDISON.

Mr. Steele and Frowde will dine with us. DR.
