_Note_.--The Text numbers 1050 lines. The Notes are printed after the
text, pp. 35-50. In Note 3 the misprint "ingenious" is retained. _The
English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers_ (Third Edition, of 1050 lines) was
included in the _British Satirist_, Glasgow, 1826, 12º, pp. 1-46, and
formed part (pp. 139-178) of a collection of Satires, Gilford's _Baviad
and Mæviad_, etc., published by J.F. Dove, London, 1827, 12º. The
misprint "ingenious" has been corrected in both these issues.
