Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antijacobin Review and Magazine, or Monthly, Political, and Literary Censor, Vol. 32: From January to April, Inclusive, 1809 The truth is, I go to pass some time [at Shlfi'nal in Shropshire] with two of the best people in the world, to whom I owe the highest duty, and have all possible obligation. I believe I never told you how happy I am in an excellent father and mother - very plain people you may be sure, for they are farmers, but of a turn of mind that might have honoured any rank and any education. With very tolerable, but in no degree affluent circumstances, their generosity was such, they never regarded any expense that was in their ower, and almost out of it, in whatever concerned the welfare 0 their children. We are three brothers of us. The eldest settled very reputabl y in their own way, and the youngest in the Birmingham trade. For myself, a poor scholar, as you know, I am almost ashamed to own to you how solicitous they always were to furnish me with all the Opportunities of the best and most liberal education. My case in so many particulars resembles that which the Roman poet describes as his own, that with Pope's wit I could apply almost every circumstance of it. And if ever I were to wish in earnest to be a poet, it would be for the sake of doing justice to so uncommon a virtue. I should be a wretch if I did not conclude, as he does, Ii Nature juberet, Ste. In a word, when the had fixed or in such a rank of life as they designed, and be ioved should satisfy'us, they very wisely left the business of the world to such as wanted it more, or liked it better. They considered what. Age and declining health seemed to demand of them, re serving to themselves only' such a support as their few and little wants made them think'sufiicient. I should beg pardon for troubling you with this humble history; but the subjects of it are so much and so tenderly in my thoughts at present, that if I writ [n rote] at all, I could hardly help writing about them. 9. 102.
