London, October 28. . . Our correspondent at Paris
acquaints us, that many young persons of distinction are
inclined to set up courses of astronomy, natural philosophy
and geography, with a suitable apparatus of instruments,
upon a supposition that their evenings may be as agreeably,
and at the same time more usefully spent there, than at
either the opera or the comedy. (Or, heated with liquor,
raking about the streets in the night, doing all manner of
mischief, as many of our young fellows do.)
