[Footnote I: The "time-cemented Tower" of the old castle of Cora still overlooks the waterfall. Compare the _Address to Kilchurn Castle_ in the "Memorials of a Tour in Scotland," 1803 (vol. ii. p. 400); and, with The dullest leaf in this thick wood Quakes--conscious of thy power, compare the _Lines written in Early Spring_ (vol. i. p. 268).--ED.] [Footnote J: Leonidas, king of Sparta, killed in the heroic defence of the pass of Thermopylæ, B.C. 480.--ED.] [Footnote K: On the western side of the bay of Uri, in the lake of Lucerne, is Tell's Platte, where on a ledge of rock stands the chapel--rebuilt in 1880, but said to have been originally built in 1388--on the spot where the Swiss Patriot leapt out of Gessler's boat, and shot the tyrant.--ED.] III EFFUSION, IN THE PLEASURE-GROUND ON THE BANKS OF THE BRAN, NEAR DUNKELD Composed 1814.--Published 1827 [I am not aware that this condemnatory effusion was ever seen by the owner of the place. He might be disposed to pay little attention to it; but were it to prove otherwise I should be glad, for the whole exhibition is distressingly puerile.--I.F.] "The waterfall, by a loud roaring, warned us when we must expect it. We were first, however, conducted into a small apartment, where the Gardener desired us to look at a picture of Ossian, which, while he was telling the history of the young Artist who executed the work, disappeared, parting in the middle--flying asunder as by the touch of magic--and lo! we are at the entrance of a splendid apartment, which was almost dizzy and alive with waterfalls, that tumbled in all directions; the great cascade, opposite the window, which faced us, being reflected in innumerable mirrors upon the ceiling and against the walls."--_Extract from the Journal of my Fellow-Traveller._[L]
