t in his Method of conducting the whole Piece, but at the same time vain, ignorant, and incorrect" (I, xiii). 9.26 The "certain _Noble Lord_" is probably either Sir Arthur Hesilrige or Lord Gainsborough (see McKillop, _Samuel Richardson_, pp. 27-29). 10.1-3 Quotation from the "Abstract of a second Letter from the Same Gentleman" in the "Introduction to this Second Edition." The "complemental" friend is Aaron Hill. 10.21-12.5 Paraphrase of Richardson's "Preface by the Editor." 12.8 Colley Cibber (1671-1757), the "worthy Gentleman" who then presided over the muses as poet laureate, frequently mentions his own vanity in _An Apology for the Life of Mr. Colley Cibber, Comedian_ (1740). 14.16 Advertised during the spring of 1741, the first French translation of _Pamela_ did not appear until the end of October 1741 (see McKillop, _Samuel Richardson_, p. 92). Jean Baptiste de Freval, author of "_To the Editor of the Piece intitled_ Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded," probably had at least some hand in this French translation (see Paul Dottin, _Samuel Richardson_ [Paris: Perrin et Cie., 1931], p. 117). 15.2-10 Partially a paraphrase, partially a quotation of "_To my worthy Friend, the Editor of_ Pamela, _&c._" 15.17-19.2 An attack on the "Introduction to This Second Edition." Aaron Hill is the "Person of distinguish'd _Taste_ and _Abilities_." 22.22-24 _Pamela Censured_ here refuses to employ _Pamela_'s tactic of including parts of letters to support opinions. 26.7-13 Quotation from Letter VII. 26.13-25 _Pamela's Conduct in High Life_ brands the remarks on this page "too poor to censure" and "downright _silly_" (I, xiii). 26.26-28.17 Quotation from Letter XI. 28.22-29.1 This comment, according to _Pamela's Conduct in High Life_, "is like the Roman Persecution of the Christians, who sewed them in Bears Skins and then baited them. How unfair he is, and how much of the Goat he has in his Constitution are visible" (I, xiii). 29.1-30.27 Quotation from Letter XV. Concerning this passage, _Pamela's Conduct in High Life_ asks: "What is there immodest in this Account, what to excite any Passions but those of Pity for a virtuous young Creature, and Indignation to a tyrannical lewd Man of Fortune? How do the Fright, the Terror, and Apprehensions of a defenceless Virgin kindle Desire? and when they have deprived her of Sense, how can we fairly from the Words of _Pamela_'s Letter ga
