1214. Nathaniel White to his father. Reminiscences. General news. "We have nothing new in the political world but the Proclamation issued by His Majesty forbidding all his subjects interfering in the contest between the Turks & Greeks. I have no doubt Ministers are doing right, but 'tis a pity that policy should require our neutrality in such a cause. We have one however at the helm who is well versed in the political chart & understands all the practical parts of steering & veering & trimming & tacking better perhaps than any man in the ship. Let us therefore entrust her confidently to him. Lord John Nova Scotia [i.e. Bishop John Inglis] is on his dunghill crowing away as if nothing had happened. He appeared in the pulpit of St. Paul's last Sunday & very adroitly distilled a few choice drops of oil & sprinkled them over the troubled pool with much effect. He is quite without an equal in the suaviter in modo & will no doubt in a short time coax the stray sheep back in the fold again. The Master of the Rolls has also after rolling himself some how or other /not very gracefully / into a well feathered nest, rolled out again among us, without much polish from his rubbing. He has only picked up a few additional phrases of denunciation & lavishes them most profusely on poor Nova Scotia. England has no charms for him either, but Switzerland is his Paradise & the Swiss a damnd fine sett of fellows. He is certainly a queer genius & has returned more whimsical than ever." Holograph.
[Date post 1826, when Robie became Master of the Rolls, pre 1829 when the Graeco-Turkish War ended.]
