Mr. Thaxter return'd from Exeter Court, (where he went last Tuesday) and dined with
us. Mrs. Shaw was out, all the afternoon and evening. This morning I finish'd the
2d. book of Horace's Odes, and had one, which pleased me, as much, or more than any
I have met with yet. It is the 16th. All those that Compose, this book are very fine,
and I remember I have heard my
{ 376 } father who is very fond of the author, speak, in a peculiar manner of it.
