--"The _Dean_'s Present, which I shall value as long as I live for
his sake. _Dom. Mabillon_ was the first that told me of that Work,
and said, that the Author was a truly learned Person, and not one
of those Writers who did not understand their Subject to the
bottom, but, said he, that learned Man is one of ten thousand."
[Footnote F: See the Epistle to the Reader in the Essay towards
a Real Character, p. 3.]
And in another Letter to the abovemention'd Dr._ Taylor_--. "When
_Dom. Mabillon_ first told me of it, he did not name the Author, so as
I understood who he was, but the Elogium he made of him, was indeed very
great, and I find that the _Dean_ in one Word, has done that worthy Man
Justice." This high Elogium of your self, and of your great Work, from so
renowned an Antiquary, as it is a great Defence and Commendation of the
_Old Northern Learning_, so is it the more remarkable, in that it was
given by one, against whom you had written in the most tender Point of
the Controversy, _De Re Diplomatica_, as may be seen in your _Lingg.
Vett. Septentr. Thesaur. Pr�fat. General._ p. _xxxvi_, &c.
Sir, I once more heartily beg your Pardon for giving you so much
trouble, and beg leave to give you my Thanks for the great Assistance
I have received in the _Saxon_ Studies from your learned Works, and
Conversation; and in particular for your favourable Recommendation of
my Endeavours, in a farther cultivating those Studies, who with sincere
Wishes for your good Health, and all imaginable Respect for a Person of
your Worth and Learning, am,
_SIR_,
Your Most Obliged,
Humble Servant,
_Elizabeth Elstob._
