Summary

The New School of Love (1806)

To dream one has a garland of flowers presented, shews they will have the person desired.
To dream of fire, denotes anger.
To dream you fly, signifies hasty news of strange things.
Todream one puts a gold ring upon your finger, signifies speedy marriage; but if it seem to break or fall off, there will be disappointment in it.
To dream you see a flock of birds that sing and chirp merrily, promises good news; and that you will soon grow rich.
To dream you see the sun and moon very shining, signifies riches and honour; but if eclipsed, crosses and disappointments.

The New School of Love (1806)

Your eloquence is far beyond the reach of my poor wit, and the number of your praises fitter for a goddess, than to the erection of such an earthly dress; for my part, I hold them as the fancies and toys of men, issuing from the weakness of their humours: and how far myself can deserve, none but myself can better conceive. Being one of the good sort as you are, I could do no less than write again unto you, the rather to satisfy the importunity of your pressing messenger.
