a scratched signature upon a window-pane. This, which is now at Trinity College, Dublin, is here reproduced in facsimile. When the garrets of No. 35, Parliament Square, were pulled down in 1837, it was cut out of the window by the last occupant of the rooms, who broke it in the process. (Dr. J. F. Waller in Cassell’s _Works_ of Goldsmith, [1864–5], pp. xiii-xiv n.) a poor physician. Where he obtained his diploma is not known. It was certainly not at Padua (_Athenaeum_, July 21, 1894). At Leyden and Louvain Prior made inquiries but, in each case, without success. The annals of the University of Louvain were, however, destroyed in the revolutionary wars. (Prior, _Life_, 1837, i, pp. 171, 178). declared it to be by Goldsmith. Goldsmith’s authorship of this version has now been placed beyond a doubt by the publication in facsimile of his signed receipt to Edward Dilly for third share of ‘my translation,’ such third share amounting to 6 pounds 13s. 4d. The receipt, which belongs to Mr. J. W. Ford of Enfield Old Park, is dated ‘January 11th, 1758.’ (_Memoirs of a Protestant_, etc., Dent’s edition, 1895, i, pp. xii-xviii.) 12, Green Arbour Court, Old Bailey. This was a tiny square occupying a site now absorbed by the Holborn Viaduct and Railway Station. No. 12, where Goldsmith lived, was later occupied by Messrs. Smith, Elder & Co. as a printing office. An engraving of the Court forms the frontispiece to the _European Magazine_ for January, 1803. or some of his imitators. The proximate cause of the _Citizen of the World_, as the present writer has suggested elsewhere, _ may_ have been Horace Walpole’s _Letter from XoHo_ [Soho?], _a Chinese Philosopher at London, to his friend Lien Chi, at Peking_. This was noticed as ‘in Montesquieu’s manner’ in the May issue of the _Monthly Review_ for 1757, to which Goldsmith was a contributor (_Eighteenth Century Vignettes_, first series, second edition, 1897, pp. 108–9). demonstrable from internal evidence. e.g.—The references to the musical glasses (ch. ix), which were the rage in 1761–2; and to the _Auditor_ (ch. xix) established by Arthur Murphy in June of the latter year. The sale of the ‘Vicar’ is discussed at length in chapter vii of the editor’s _Life of Oliver Goldsmith_ (‘Great Writers’ series), 1888, pp. 110–21.
