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._"

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
