Curiosity is aroused and gratified, and wisdom is gathered, by marking their resemblances and differences. Hence the uniformity of human nature, and the variations introduced by local and ca- sual circumstances, are collected. Two events, so near to each other, and which are imagined, by some, to be in some degree connected with each other as cause and effect, as the American and French revolutions, could not fail to excite much of this comparing curiosity. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-00055.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-01023.xml Does Laura then delight to hear http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-01023.xml Sat, 17 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-03077.xml Our manners, said a gentleman from Hol- land, in a dining company, where I was lately, are very different from yours; and, if you will give me leave to say so, much more agreeable: that, however, may arise from my national im- pressions. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-03077.xml Sat, 07 Mar 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-04120.xml Manotti, a Tuscan poet, little known beyond his native province, composed a song in the purest dialect of Sienna, which he called the Cow- boy's chaunt. This has, in process of time, be- come a sort of national ditty; the simple tune of which (likewise furnished by the poet, who was a scholar of Tartini, and of note, as a composer for the violin), is a favourite with every driver of the plough, and feeder of cattle in the Siennese. The following is an attempt to render it into English, in which the artless repetitions, the musical sweetness, and the various measures of the original, are endeavoured to be preserved. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-04120.xml Sat, 11 Apr 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-04128.xml From pleasure-walks, and market places, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-04128.xml Sat, 18 Apr 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-05143.xml Why aye, my boys, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-05143.xml Sat, 02 May 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-05144.xml Fair friend, a bold aspiring hand is his, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-05144.xml Sat, 02 May 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-06000.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-06000.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-12000.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-12000.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-117.xml When with you, it is your province to talk: to delight me with the effusions of that noble & ingenuous mind: & so seldom does the occasion offer on which my fastidiousness will permit me to say, what I find no difficulty in writing http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-117.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-118.xml What a melancholy, mortified, perplexed hour has my un= =kind, unaccountable friend given me.

For here’s a girl writes with a pen of dignity & eloquence; utters strains of noble & sublime thought; & calls it nonsense; talks of her shame on shewing it to another.—Now surely all this is jest or affectation. ‘Tis impossible that one capable of writing thus, should not see her own merits Yet I believed the charming dissembler! http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-136.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-137.xml Did you see your friend to day? Yes: to be sure. It is possible, they say, to love too much. That is too much, which breeds impatience & repining, & I sometimes have =need to struggle with the rising gust of my impatience; But I shall always effectually struggle with it.

One of the cares that might have interfered with my enjoyment of it is removed, for I have seen her & she is well. She likewise promises to walk with me at the close of this enchanting day. What spectacle, most delicious, does this World afford? The smile of contentment & serenity on the face we love is that spectacle; with the sweet belief that this contentment is confirmed & this Serenity brightened, by our own presence, welfare & love; And such was the spectacle, which, this morning, I beheld. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-138.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-139.xml How does my friend to day? My longing heart prolongs the two days of our separation into tedious months: more tedi ous has it been on account of the impressions which my mind still retains from our last interview. A renewal of your generosity & tenderness is still requisite compleatly to heal those wounds, which were then inflicted: to compose my spirits again into that state of exquisite complacency & harmony which the preceding week had produced. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-139.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-140.xml What words can sufficiently convey my gratitude for this precious billet!

For that wish am I thy everlasting debtor http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-140.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-141.xml I saw my love, an age ago, but then if any thing could reconcile me to inevitable separation, it would be the pleasure of such interviews. By filling my imagination with images of recent happiness, my soul is kept up to the same elevation. It has now, however, liesure to repine & I would not, for the world, be denied a meeting with you, this afternoon. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-141.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1801 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1801-L-142.xml Am I not to share with my beloved all my woes.
