Excerpt from Memoirs of Doctor Burney, Vol. 3 of 3: Arranged From His Own Manuscripts, From Family Papers, and From Personal Recollections "Bolt Court, 17th Nov. 1784." Dr. Burney hastened to this kind call immediately; but had the grief to find his honoured friend much weakened, and in great pain; though cheerful, and struggling to revive. All of the Doctor's family who had had the honour of admission, hastened to him also; but chiefly his second daughter, who chiefly and peculiarly was always demanded. She was received with his wonted, his never-failing partiality; and, as well as the Doctor, repeated her visits by every opportunity during the ensuing short three weeks of his earthly existence. She will here copy, from the diary she sent to Boulogne, an account of what, eventually, though unsuspectedly, proved to be her last interview with this venerated friend. To Mrs. Phillips. 25th Nov. 1784. - Our dear father lent me the carriage this morning for Bolt Court. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
