Worthies, the, 40. Wyke, 57. Wykeham, William of, 49. THE END. PRINTED BY BALLANTYNE, HANSON AND CO. EDINBURGH AND LONDON. FOOTNOTES [1] A recipe strongly in favour with the artistic and literary world. [2] June 11th. The apparent error arises through March 25th being at that time still occasionally considered as New Year’s Day. [3] We have been told lately that it was not Napoleon but an American orator named Adams who first applied this epithet to us. If this is true, it comes with an additional bad grace, for whatever right a Frenchman has to such a sneer, certainly no American can claim it. [4] Pindar. [5] Than satirical pamphlets. [6] Underneath Lieth the Body of Robert Comonly Called Bone Phillip who died July 27^{th} 1793 Aged 65 Years, At whose request The following lines are here inserted. Here lie I at the Chancel door, Here lie I because I’m poor The forther in the more you’ll pay Here lie I as warm as they [7] _N.B._--Not responsible for pronunciation of the English language. [8] I’m afraid your rhymes, Mr. Poet, are somewhat indiscreet. [9] See how sadly the exigencies of rhyme fetter the poet: the palate and not the lip give the sense of taste. [10] _Anglice_, farm-yards. [11] This seems a peculiarly modern touch. [12] Fill, dear reader, these blanks _à discrétion_. [13] Corruption also of Phillis. Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied. Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. The original List of Illustrations (LoI) distinguished between full-page illustrations that “faced” pages, and mid-page illustrations that were “on” pages. This eBook does not make that distinction. In versions that support hyperlinks, the links lead to the actual illustrations, regardless of where they appear. Transcriber used the List of Illustrations to add captions to illustrations lacking them, and removed the printer’s notes regarding the pages to which some illustrations should be facing. The captionless illustrations near the beginning of the book are decorative. The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Page 163: The text on the mural was printed in Black Letter. Page 185: The symbol before “War Office” is an up-arrow. Page 191: The text taken from the chancel was printed in Black Letter. The quotation beginning on page 205 was printed in Black Letter. Page 217: There is a macron above the ‘m’ in the word “Comaund”. Page 218: “and waits are lingering” may be a misprint for “waifs”.
