Saturday, 6.--I nearly finished the abridgement of Dr. Cave's Primitive Christianity, a
book written with as much learning and as little judgment as any I remember to have read
in my whole life; serving the ancient Christians just as Xenophon did Socrates; relating every
weak thing they ever said or did.
Thursday, 11.--I prepared a short History of England for the use of the children; and on Friday and Saturday a short Roman History, as an introduction to the Latin historians. Monday, 15.--I read over Mr. Holmes's Latin Grammar and extracted from it what was needful to perfect our own.
