us with the following Translation and Correspond

cradle writer to Mr.. McTavish, the British Consul
at Baltimore, who had presented the volume of
the Marquis referred to:


The RI Hon the Marqsis Of Wele;Ly, Kingston House


WAsANGroS, L. 5. A. Dec. l6 1871.


My LoRD-Mr. Mcravish has had the good
ness to transmit to me your very hatterlng letter
Of the DIST of October last. had already been
indebted to his kindness for copy of the volume
of the classical pastmes of your early youth, the
elegant ehusions of your mature age, and the pre-
cous reiques of your later days. Imperfectly
versed as I am in the learned languages, obviously
50 familiar to you, and in which large portion of
the volume composed, 1t is impossible for me
to peruse them without discerning in them the evl-
dence of spirit elevated In my estimation Tar
above all the dignties of human institution.

ness of the mine whence it had been been drawn;
and could not withhold my tribute of admiration
at the lustre which it opeRed 70 my view. The
lines upon Milton, perhaps from deep rooted sym
pathies which your lordship will easily appreciate,
struck me with such forcble Impression that l
could not resist the temptation of attempting to
render them in the language of Milten himself
The vlndication of the great poets moral tame
from the prejudces of his most eminent biographer
had to me a charm of more than poetical justice
Mr. McTavish has conferred upon me an addition
al obligation by communicating my lines to your
lordship and it is very gratifying to me that they
were acceptable to you.


Icheerfully comply with the request for copy
Of them in my own handwriting and under my own
signature, and esteem it valuable privilege to nu-
thorize the printing of them, with your LordshiP $
consent associated in the same volume with the
original.


Ihave the honor to be, with perfect respect, my
lord, your lordship's very humble and oOedient
| servant, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
