nity and honour which constitutes the generous pride of a high mind, is founded in sensibility." FOOTNOTES: [46] "The Olio," by the late Francis Grose, Esq., F.A.S., p. 203. [47] "Dogs and their Ways;" illustrated by numerous anecdotes, compiled from authentic sources, by the Rev. Charles Williams. 1863. [48] It may interest the reader, who does not dive deep into literary curiosities, to refer to the original edition of Hayley's "Cowper" (4to, 1803, vol. i. p. 314), where the poet, in a letter to Samuel Rose, Esq., written at Weston, August 18, 1788, alludes to his having "composed a _spick_ and _span_ new piece called 'The Dog and the Water-lily;'" and in his next letter, September 11, he sent this piece to his excellent friend, the London barrister. Visitors to Olney and Weston, who have gone over the poet's walks, cannot but have their love for the gentle and afflicted Cowper most deeply _intensified_.--_See_ Miller's "First Impressions." [49] This book, like Storer's other illustrations of the scenes of the poems of Burns and Bloomfield, drawn immediately after the death of these poets, will become year by year more valuable. [50] "Memoirs of the Life of the Right Honourable Sir James Mackintosh," edited by his son, Robert James Mackintosh, Esq., vol. i. p. 164. [51] "Bawsn't," having a white stripe down the face.--_Glossary to Burns's Poems._ [52] See an extract farther on, in proof of this. [53] "The Jordan and the Rhine" (1854), p. 46, and pp. 91-93. [54] _See_ Layard's "Nineveh and its Remains," vol. ii. (1849), p. 425. [55] "Ladak, Physical, Statistical, and Historical," p. 218. [56] "Memoir of Bishop Blomfield," by his son, i. 220. [57] Mark Lemon, "Jest Book," p. 177. [58] A selection from the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. London, 1866, pp. 134-138. [59] "Memoirs of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bart.," edited by his son, Charles Buxton, Esq., B.A., third edition, p. 139. [60] Moore's "Life of Byron," chap. vii. p. 74.
