| Description | Stewart gives an account of varous exchanges of correspondence. He has received his uncle's plan for his pupils' studies, and notes some amendments he wishes to make, on the time of rising, on the preparation of classes, and on the reading of Demothenes. Some time should be allowed for exercise, such as 'rambling, goffing [golfing] hand-ball and such'. He presents his amended plan of lessons from 6.00a.m. to 10.00p.m. He gives an account of headaches and an 'out-striking' on his arms, with the treatments recommended by Dr. Menzies and the surgeon Mr. Melvil. He gives messages to be relayed and concludes with a parody of the Tragedy of Cato. |
