FOOTNOTES:
[A] Reprinted in Professor Arber's The Term Catalogues (1668-1709). London, privately printed, 1903.
[B] See the centenary number of the Edinburgh Review (October, 1902). During the editor's recent tenure of government office, the review was temporarily edited by Mr. E.S. Roscoe.
[C] See his letter in Athenæum, January 19, 1878. See also "Our Seventieth Birthday," Athenæum, January 1, 1898.
[D] Mr. Bertram Dobell in his Side-Lights on Charles Lamb (1903) directs attention to some hitherto unknown articles of Lamb's in the London Magazine.
[E] In July, 1902, the Quarterly Review published its first signed article—the widely-discussed paper on Charles Dickens by Mr. Algernon Charles Swinburne. Since then several other noteworthy articles have appeared over the authors' signatures.
[F] The best Odes of Pindar are said to be those which have been destroyed by time; and even they were seldom recited among the Greeks, without the adventitious ornaments of music and dancing. Our Lyric Odes are seldom set off with these advantages, which, trifling as they seem, have alone given immortality to the works of Quinault.
[G] Nous sommes nés pour la vérité, et nous ne pouvons souffrir son abord. Les figures, les paraboles, les emblémes, sont toujours des ornements nécessaires pour qu'elle puisse s'annoncer: on veut, en la recevant, qu'elle soit déguisée.
[H] See Vol. I. p. 63, &c.—Vol. VII. p. 1, &c.
[I] Milton.
[J] Hume.
[K] Grant's Restoration of Learning in the East.
[L] We cannot resist the temptation of saying, that in this highest department of the poet's art, we know of no living poet who will bear a comparison with Mr. Southey.
[M] Though there is no Echo and the mountains are voiceless, the woodmen, nevertheless, in the last line of this verse hear "a drear murmur between their Songs!!"
[N] This would have done excellently for a coroner's inquest like that on Honey, which lasted thirty days, and was facetiously called the "Honey-moon."
[O] See Quarterly Review, vol. XIX, p. 204.
[P] The same Camelot, in Somersetshire, we presume, which is alluded to by Kent in 'King Lear'—
I'd drive thee cackling home to Camelot.'
