Inglaterra Carta de Robert Southey para Sharon Turner

"My dear Turner,

During my long journey in Scotland I had not time to thank you for the Prolusions (which I received from Rickman) & for the manner in which my name is introduced in them. You know how little leisure there is in travelling, when the traveller wishes to see all that can be seen, & to preserve as many recollections as he can by means of a full journal. I am now once more left to myself, & to my habitual employments. Rickman & his family departed this morning, – & it will require some little time befo to reconcile myself to their departure for we have been together seven weeks of uninterrupted intercourse. We went up the East coast of Scotland, as far as Fleet Mound, which is within sight of the Ord of Caithness: – & we crossed to the xxxxxxx Sea first from Dingwall to Jean town, & afterwards by the line of the Great Canal. And we returned from Fort William by way of Inverary & Glasgow. In most parts, or in all, there were the most unequivocal marks of rapid improvement, agreeing well with the view which you take of our increased & increasing civilization.
Your Prolusions are full of knowledge, & evince a range of reading as wide as the subjects upon which you have speculated. I go with you always in principle & in hope, – but not always in chearful expectation. For I fear that instead of going on easily & steadily from good to better, there lies a dismal stage of evil before us – that the age of Revolution is not over, & that we in this country shall go on from folly to folly, & from madness to madness, till we lose those liberties which are at this time so grossly & perilously abused. God grant that I may be mistaken in this judgement.
The end I doubt not, will be for the best, upon the great scale, – whatever it may be for England. And the light which we have diffused will continue to shine when it may be darkness & desolation here, – if ever that unhappy day shall be brought on by our own insanity & guilt.
My last Volume of Brazil has been delayed by some accident about a proof sheet the whole time of my absence. I expected to have found it on my return. You will find in it a great deal of curious matter, of which a great portion is now for the first time made public. I am still seeking materials for improving it (with a full sense of its inevitable imperfections) & have indeed at this time a manuscript which is said to be of great value on the way. Whether a second edition may be called for in my time is indeed somewhat doubtful, – & perhaps hardly to be expected: but this will make no difference in my purpose. I will leave it as full & as correct as it can be made by my utmost diligence in procuring documents, & in using them. – The government of Brazil, I fear, is going on in the old way, – as if all its members were satisfied with believing that things will last their time, & were altogether indifferent in what state they may leave them to their successors. The prime minister is at this time amusing himself in England. Yet bad as the Government is, & blind & besotted as the rulers appear to be, I hope they may escape the revolutionary plague, which is laying Spanish America waste. A despotism may thro the influence of the spirit of the time be gradually improved into a good government; but anxiety & civil war end always in the tyranny of the sword. – The worst symptom of Brazil is the prevalence of atheism among the educated classes. What remedy for this is to be hoped for in a Catholic country I confess I cannot see.
After so long an absence from home I feel a fresh appetite for work, – which is well when there is so much before me. My first business must be to finish the life of Wesley. About a third part of the second volume is printed, & I shall not be long in arranging the materials for the remainder. The Methodists remind me of a curious pamphlett published by Dr Chalmers; he wants to establish a religious discipline in large cities: – Methodism effects this, but in an objectionable way. But the want of any discipline of this kind, opens a way for so many evils, that I am glad to see public attention moved to the subject.
Longman has made a sad mistake in the title of the poem which he has announced for me, – my loose handwriting has been the cause. A Tale of Paraguay is the proper title. It is in Spenser’s stanzas. I hope to have it ready for publication in the spring.
[MS torn] Mrs S. joins with me in kind remembrances to Mrs Turner, & you[MS torn] aughters. Remember me to Alfred also, & believe me my dear Turner
sincerely & affectionately yours

Robert Southey."
