Farish was one of the candidates: the man of whom LeslieFoster used to talk in such raptures when he first came from Cambridge;the man who lectured on arches, and whose paradox of the one-toothedwheel William will recollect. My father was introduced to him, andinvited him to dine with us: Mr. Farish accepted the invitation. We saton a bench with a few ladies.

Exercise book: hand good, and ink admirable; shame to the modernchemists, who cannot make half as good ink now!
