Page 286. I.--THAT A BULLY is ALWAYS A COWARD.

_New Monthly Magazine_, January, 1826.

Page 287, line 1. _Hickman_. This would be Tom Hickman, the pugilist.
In Hazlitt's fine account of "The Fight," Hickman or the Gas-Man,
"vapoured and swaggered too much, as if he wanted to grin and bully
his adversary out of the fight." And again, "'This is the _grave
digger_' (would Tom Hickman exclaim in the moments of intoxication
from gin and success, showing his tremendous right hand); 'this will
send many of them to their long homes; I haven't done with them yet.'"
But he went under to Neale, of Bristol, on the great day that Hazlitt
describes.

novel _Clarissa_, the lover of Miss Bayes.

WRONG.

_New Monthly Magazine_, January, 1826.

Page 291, line 4 from foot. _Little Titubus_. I do not know who this
was, if any more than an abstraction; but it should be remembered that
Lamb himself stammered.

Compare the reflections on puns in the essay on "Distant
Correspondents." Compare also the review of Hood's _Odes and
