She it is, bishop, that would plead for you; yes, bishop, _she_--when heaven and earth are silent. NOTES THE ENGLISH MAIL-COACH "In October 1849 there appeared in _Blackwood's Magazine_ an article entitled _The English Mail-Coach, or the Glory of Motion_. There was no intimation that it was to be continued; but in December 1849 there followed in the same magazine an article in two sections, headed by a paragraph explaining that it was by the author of the previous article in the October number, and was to be taken in connexion with that article. One of the sections of this second article was entitled _The Vision of Sudden Death_, and the other _Dream-Fugue on the above theme of Sudden Death_. When De Quincey revised the papers in 1854 for republication in volume iv of the Collective Edition of his writings, he brought the whole under the one general title of _The English Mail-Coach_, dividing the text, as at present, into three sections or chapters, the first with the sub-title _The Glory of Motion_, the second with the sub-title _The Vision of Sudden Death_, and the third with the sub-title _Dream-Fugue, founded on the preceding theme of Sudden Death_. Great care was bestowed on the revision. Passages that had appeared in the magazine articles were omitted; new sentences were inserted; and the language was retouched throughout."--MASSON.
