"30. Read little this morning- my mind dwelling with much depression on the probability or improbability of my achieving the work I wish to do. I struck out two or three thoughts towards an English novel. G. and I have had the pleasure of dining alone, the boys being gone together to see their schoolfellow Empson. G. has been to Dr. Brinton to-day to consult him about his health which is still unsatisfactory. I am much afflicted with hopelessness and melancholy just now: and yeti feel the value of my blessings. Before breakfast I have been reading Savonarola's Discourse on Government, and have looked into his Sermons on the Epistle of John and on the Psalm Quam Bonus." Diary 1861-1877 98-99
