122 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
added to the vanity of authors, and others who may
be zealous to extend the reputation of French literature, would probably procure you some. As to
apparatus, the best instruments and machines are
made in England; and the greater as well as better
part of those used here are, I am told, brought from
thence. I am much mistaken if Europe, in general,
does not wish that we were less knowing than we are
already. But if it was probable that such applications
would be attended with ever so great success, yet, as
I think they can be properly made only in the United
States, I could not prevail upon myself to advise the
experiment.
If, however, you should visit Paris, I assure you it
will give me great pleasure to see you, and to be
instrumental in rendering it agreeable to you. We
have been fellow-labourers in the same field, and if
you come, we will rejoice together in celebrating
" harvest home."
With respect to the disagreeable voyage in which
your son shared with us, I won't say jubes renovare
dolorem, because I am habituated to reflect on events
of that sort with tranquillity. It was one of those,
however, which tried all who wTere concerned in it;
and I must do your son the justice to say that none
of us preserved more equanimity and good-humour
throughout the whole than he did, and he had a full
share of unpleasant circumstances, as well as some
others of us. I am, dear sir,
Your most obedient and very humble servant,
John Jay.
