Footnote 1:
“Or must I, as a wit, with learned air
Like Doctor Dibdin, to Tom Payne’s repair,
Meet Cyril Jackson and mild Cracherode there?
‘Hold!’ cries Tom Payne, ‘that margin let me measure,
And rate the separate value of the treasure’
Eager they gaze. ‘Well, Sirs, the feat is done.
Cracherode’s _Poetæ Principes_ have won!’”
Mathias, _Pursuits of Literature_.
Footnote 2:
Loakes had been purchased from the last owner of the Archdall family
by Henry, Earl of Shelburne. Earl William (first Marquess of
Lansdowne) eventually sold it to the ancestor of the present Lord
Carrington.

See, hereafter, in life of T. Grenville, Book III, c. 2.
