PAGE 118, l. 13. “_Lady Sparkish_,” probably for “Lady Smart,” as being hostess. PAGE 121, last line. “_Inkle._”—Ribbon or tape. PAGE 129, l. 8. Scott has borrowed this vigorous protest of Miss in one of his private letters. PAGE 131, l. 7. “_Ld. Sparkish_” should evidently be “Ld. Smart.” PAGE 135, l. 14. “_Kept a Corner for a Venison Pasty._”—Which Dr. Goldsmith remembered in immortal verse. PAGE 140, l. 12. I do not know whether this speech was meant for Lord Sparkish or Lady Answerall. PAGE 143, ll. 1, 3. An unnecessary double entry, but right in the attribution. PAGE 145, l. 9. “_In my Tip_,” “as I am drinking.” PAGE 161, l. 4. “_Weily rosten_,” should probably be “_b_rosten,” _i.e._, “well-nigh burst.” PAGE 162, l. 9. Lord Smart might make this speech; but from the answer it would seem to be his Lady’s. PAGE 165, l. 13.—I don’t know whether Swift, who never forgot his feud with “Cousin Dryden,” was indulging in a half-gird at “The corruption of a poet is the generation of a critic.” PAGE 176, l. 8. “_Concealer._”—A brilliant pun on “Counsellor.” PAGE 181, l. 24. “_A Bone in my Leg._”—This odd phrase for a peculiar cramp in the leg is not dead yet. PAGE 183, l. 21. “_Quare._”—David Q., died in 1724. He had invented repeaters, and throughout the eighteenth century was what Tompion was later among watchmakers, what Joe Manton was long among gunmakers, a name to conjure with and to quote. PAGE 184, l. 24. “_Box it about; ’twill come to my Father._”—The famous Jacobite cant-phrase for breeding disturbance in hopes of a fresh Revolution.
