FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote U: Brutus, reputed great-grandson of Æneas the Trojan Prince,
the legendary founder of the British race--according to the story in
Geoffrey of Monmouth's Chronicle--after a somewhat chequered career in
Greece, consulted Diana where he should go and settle. To whom Diana in
a vision replied:--

    Brutus, far to the West, in th' Ocean wide,
    Beyond the realm of Gaul, a land there lies,
    Sea-girt it lies, where Giants dwelt of old,
    Now void, it fits thy people; thither bend
    Thy course, there shalt thou find a lasting seat,
    There to thy sons another Troy shall rise,
    And kings be born of thee....

"Brutus guided now," says Milton (following Monmouth), "by Divine
conduct, speeds him towards the West."... After some adventures in the
Adriatic and in Gaul, "with an easy course, arriving at Totness, in
Devonshire, quickly perceives here to be the promised end of his
labours.
