TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
Lloyd’s
Penny Weekly Miscellany
of
Romance and General Interest
There's not a passion of the mind,
A moving thraldom of the o’verwrought brain,
But with the magic of an art which is immortal,
Is enshrined here.—Ben Jonson.
I have a tale of war for knight
Lay of love for beauty bright,
Fairy tale to lull the heir,
Goblins grim the maids to scare.—Scott.
Vol. I.
