My family being small , a wife and one son , of but delicate health , all that is left out of eight children , my expectations are moderate , as our wants are but few . I resided some years on the Continent for the benefit of educating my children , and during my stay in Brussells , I had the honour of being initiated into Freemasonry , in the
