Miscellaneous Observations And Reflections Made In A Tour Through London,
One cannot survey this vast collection of neglected fruits of unlawful love , without feeling for them , more than they can feel for themselves . Cut off from past generations , they stand the first of their line . They are founders of families . Each depends upon his own merit . They give instruction to their children , who have received none from their parents . They cannot , by ill conduct , disgrace them .
The deeds of their fathers are shut out from the ears of their offspring . No family action is rehearsed by their sober fire . The son rises not up in judgment against his father . They are strangers to a mother ' s tender clasp ; they know not a brother ' s love .,. We view the little urchins with pity , because they have no friends to pity them . They long for no man ' s death : they expect no man ' s wealth ; they have no
estate in reversion , no sable clothes to wear , no funeral tears to fall . It is as difficult to keep money in this place , as to acquire it in others . It is here , alone , the pride of family never enters ; one general level reigns through the whole . They seem as happy as those who are surrounded by relations . Plaving only themselves to depend on ,
the 3 , perhaps , will be more fortunate than those who depend upon others . Self is the safest prop . __ Had not tliis excellent institution been adopted , some of this infant race , who may become future benefits , perhaps would not now have existed : it is , therefore , the preventer of guilt .

Inscription On A Tomb-Stone In Cobham Churchyard.
INSCRIPTION ON A TOMB-STONE IN COBHAM CHURCHYARD .
To the Memory of PHILIP GREEN , Private in the Grenadier Company of the East Norfolk Militia ; Who , Bthe intense horrors of a dreary night ,
y And from the unrelenting- rigour of the season , Perished In a field near this place , On the 16 th day of February , 179 ; , aged 26 . This Monument , As a token of the respect and estimation of his fellow-soldiers ,
Was erected , By the cheerful contribution of the whole regiment , As a pleasing remembrance of his worth , And A grateful consolation to his surviving relatives . Hear Heav ' n ! nor chide pale Sorrow ' s sigh ; Behold the anguish'd beads in Pity ' s eye ! Affection bend , and kiss the afflicting rod ; 'Wail poor G REEK ' fate , and bless the world ' s great Cod !
