ABSTRACT

The separation of persons who have been long together, especially in a foreign country, which occasions a closer union among those of the same nation, is always painful. On parting, every little bickering that may have happened is forgotten; and scenes of pleasure or difficulty of which they have mutually partaken are remembered both with joy and regret. The travellers did not divide without giving and receiving pressing and sincere invitations to visit each other’s abode, if ever chance, business, or amusement should afford the opportunity; and Sir Edward Eaglefield / declaring his intention of making the tour of his own country as soon as he had settled his mother and sister in Devonshire, Mr. Fraser particularly requested that he would not forget him if he visited the Highlands of Scotland, and gave him a direction to that part of the country in which he hoped to fix.
