us the compliment of inviting many of our
own countrymen to his table that he might
give us an English dinner; but alas! that

LETTER VI.



Stockholm.

I take the liberty of continuing in this
letter my miscellaneous remarks on this
country, which, I expect, you must receive
with no small degree of indulgence, as
many of them are the result of hasty
observation. I would not have it understood
that the Swedish ladies, in general, are
disgusting to an English taste. There are
many whose education and accomplishments
are as distinguished as their birth, and whose
affable temper and disposition render them
perfectly amiable. These qualifications a
stranger to their language cannot always
enjoy. They possess no small share of
vivacity, wit, and affability, with many
other accomplishments; and to these we
must add, the greatest delicacy of manners.
