A LIST OF BOOKS - JScholarship

TO P. W. LONGDILL, ESQ. 77
but God dwells neither in temples made by
hands, nor in such as are built of earthly
materials—yet we adore him in his temple.
My health is improving—and I enjoy our
evening excursions on the lake whenever the
state of the weather, which has lately been
unfavourable, permits the launching of our
Httle boat.
Of Geneva and its society we
see Httle—there is more equality of classes
here than in
England, which occasions a
greater freedom and refinement of manners
among the lower orders than is to be met
with in England. As I like republican institutions,
I cannot join in the complaints of some
haughty EngHsh ladies who are disgusted
with Genevese servants.
We intend shortly
to make a voyage round the lake, and I shall
duly send you a copy of our log-book.
Ever yours affectionately,
p. B. SHELLEY.
