It may be remembered that Pantagruel on his travels found in Paris 'the library of St. Victor, a very stately and magnificent one, especially in some books which were there', of which the Repertory or Catalogue is given. A few of the titles are:--_The Pomegranate of Vice_, _The Henbane of the Bishops_, _The Crucible of Contemplation_, _The Flimflams of the Law_, _The Pleasures of the Monachal Life_, _Sixty-nine fat Breviaries_, and _The Chimney-sweeper of Astrology_. Some of the titles are too 'Rabelaesian', or what some booksellers call 'curious', to print. A certain number of the books appear to have actually existed outside the author's imagination. P. 45. _Herrick._--These are, of course, separate poems, scattered fruit of the _Hesperides_. See also the note on page 390. 'Absyrtus-like': an allusion, of course, to the story of Medea, who took her brother Absyrtus with her when she fled with Jason. Being nearly overtaken by her father, Medea murdered Absyrtus, and strewed the road with pieces of his body so that the pursuit might be stayed. P. 46. _Daniel._--This sonnet was prefaced to the second edition of Florio's _Montaigne_ (1613), and is often ascribed to the translator; but the weight of criticism credits the authorship to Daniel. Mr. Locker-Lampson was tempted to write a couple of verses for the fly-leaf of the Rowfant Montaigne, which not only belonged to Shakespeare, but was also given by Pope to Gay and enjoyed by Johnson: For me the halycon days have passed, I'm here and with a dunce at last. See note on previous page. P. 47. _Milton._--Milton's prose masterpiece was printed, in a modified form, by Mirabeau, under the title _Sur la Liberté de la Presse_, imité de l'Anglais, de Milton. P. 49. _Leighton._-- Methinks in that refulgent sphere That knows not sun or moon, An earth-born saint might long to hear One verse of 'Bonnie Doon'.--O. W. HOLMES. P. 49. _Hazlitt._--'Because they both wrote essays and were fond of the Elizabethans,' Mr. Augustine Birrell says, 'it became the fashion to link Hazlitt's name with Lamb's. Hazlitt suffered by the comparison.' P. 50. _Hunt._--The poet is Wordsworth and the lines 'Oh that my name' are found in 'Personal Talk'. See page 21.
