on Job, attributions
are too short to be certain; _Alida_ may have found similar
phrases in a different source.

Francis Smith Eastman: _A history of the state of New York ..._
First edition 1828; later edition (with reprints) 1831. Details of
wording identify the 1831 edition (or a later one) as the source.

_Fiction_

Daniel Jackson/Isaac Mitchell: _Alonzo and Melissa_. For details,
see Project Gutenberg e-text 28112. Written 1804 by Mitchell; first
book publication (pirated by Jackson) 1811, with many reprints.
Wording in _Alida_ does not consistently correspond to any of the
editions used for the _Alonzo and Melissa_ e-text. Quotations are
generally from 1811 except where a different edition matches the
wording more closely. [Abbreviated "A&M"]
By word count, _Alida_'s favorite source: chapters VII-XII
inclusive, much of the adjoining chapters VI and XIII, most of
XXXIII-XXXIV (the final two chapters), and many other passages of
varying length. See beginning of chapter VI for more information.

Regina Maria Roche: _The Children of the Abbey_. First published
1796, reprinted throughout the following century. Quotations from
1877.

Mrs. (Mary Martha) Sherwood:
_The Broken Hyacinth_; _The Lady of the Manor_.
_Alida_ may contain other quotations from this author; most
phrases are too short to be unambiguous. Mrs. Sherwood's fiction
has a strong religious element, and she seems the kind of author
Amelia Comfield would have liked.

Robert Folkestone Williams: _Mephistophiles in England, or the
Confessions of a Prime Minister_. 1835.
_Alida_ only quotes one passage from this two-volume novel. The
episode may have been reprinted in some other text, or the novel
itself may have lifted it from an earlier source.

Amelia Stratton Comfield: _Alida_.
When all else fails, the book quotes itself. One passage appears
three times.

_Periodicals and Short Fiction_

_The New-York Weekly Magazine, Or, Miscellaneous Repository_: Volume
II, 1797. Reprinted as a single bound volume containing 52 8-page
issues (July 1796-June 1797). [Abbreviated "NY Weekly"]
Only two volumes of this periodical, and a few issues of the
third, were published; only volume II was available to me. At
least 30 separate pieces are quoted in _Alida_, so it is likely
that some unidentified sources are in volumes I or III.
