H. F. Jones to Butler from the Hotel dell'Angelo, Faido, in 1883: "The

Republic again!'" _Memoir_, I. 395.

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM. Shakespeare's Poems. Malone. 1780.
This is part of Vol. I. of Malone's "Supplement to the Edition of
Shakespeare's Plays published in 1778 by Samuel Johnson and George
Steevens." I do not know where Butler got it; he wanted Malone's
comments on the Sonnets and he may have bought this second-hand or it may
have been given to him. It was probably in a bad state, for he had it
bound; there is an entry to that effect in his account book, 30th March,
1899.

because he was told that it was a model biography of a great
schoolmaster.
