"I can tell you I am as happy as perhaps the Creation can make me: I enjoy all of the Necessities and most of the Conveniences of Life; I have a peaceful Study, as a Refuge from the Hurries and Noise of the world around me; the venerable Dead are waiting in my Library to entertain me, and relieve me from the Nonsense of surviving Mortals"
-Samuel Davies 1751
