ABSTRACT
The family were soon settled in a pleasant and respectable house in the town of Lausanne. The ladies and the young Baronet were wonderfully delighted with, the beauty of the surrounding country, where the wildness of the adjacent scenery, with the sublime prospect of the Alpine summits at a distance, formed a striking contrast with the clear unruffled bosom of the Leman lake. 21 Here would Mrs. Margaret, wandering among the rocks, pay a sentimental tear to the memory of the unfortunate St. Preux and Julie; 22 while the fair Emilia, with a stifled sigh, would reflect / on the milder vales of Devon. And however inferior they might be to the scenery around her, I trust the reader will not deem her totally devoid of taste, when she gave a preference not only to these, but to the most dreary wilds of Dartmoor, when the recollection of them brought to her mind impressions more deeply fixed on her imagination, than those which even the pen of a Rousseau had drawn on that of her aunt. Sir Edward constantly attended the exercises of the academy, pursuing at the same time his studies at home with his tutor, and attending at leisure hours to the instructions of Mr. Mortlock.
