“Many statesmen and philosophers assisted him (i. e. Dion); “as for
  instance, Eudemus, the Cyprian, on whose death Aristotle wrote his
  dialogue of the Soul, and Timonides the Leucadian.”

(See Plutarch’s ’Dion’.) Timonides wrote an account of Dion’s campaign in Sicily in certain letters to Speusippus, which are referred to both by Plutarch and by Diogenes Laertius,—­Ed.]

[Footnote R:  See the ‘Orlando Furioso’ of Ariosto, canto i.: 

  ’La donna il palafreno a dietro volta,
  E per la selva a tutta briglia il caccia;
  Ne per la rara piu, che per la folta,
  La piu sicura e miglior via procaccia.

  The lady turned her palfrey round,
  And through the forest drove him on amain;
  Nor did she choose the glade before the thickest wood,
  Riding the safest ever, and the better way.’

[Footnote S:  See the ‘Gerusalemme Liberata’ of Tasso, canto vi.  Erminia is the heroine of ‘Jerusalem Delivered’.  An account of her flight occurs at the opening of the seventh canto.—­Ed.]

  “Rivus Romentini, petite ville du Blaisois, et capitale de la
  Sologne, aujourd’hui sous-prefecture du depart. de Loir-et-Cher.”

It was taken in 1356 and in 1429 by the English, in 1562 by the Catholics, in 1567 by the Calvinists, and in 1589 by the Royalists.

“Henri IV. l’erigea en comte pour sa maitresse Charlotte des Essarts, 1560.  Francois I. y rendit un edit celebre qui attribuait aux prelats la connaissance du crime d’heresie, et la repression des assemblees illicites.”

[Footnote U:  Blois,

  “Louis XII., qui etait ne a Blois, y sejourna souvent, et
  reconstruisit completement le chateau, ou la cour habita frequemment
  au XVI’e. siecle.”

(’Dict.  Histor. de la France’, Lalaune.) The town is full of historical reminiscences of Louis XII., Francis I., Henry III., and Catherine and Mary de Medici.  Wordsworth went from Orleans to Blois, in the spring of 1792.—­Ed.]

[Footnote V:  Claude, the daughter of Louis XII.—­Ed.]

[Footnote W:  Chambord;

“celebre chateau du Blaisois (Loir-et-Cher), construit par Francois I., sur l’emplacement d’une maison de plaisance des comtes de Blois.  Donne par Louis XV. a son beau-pere Stanislas, puis au Marechal de Saxe, il revint ensuit a la couronne; et en 1777 Louis XVI. en accorda la jouissance a la famille de Polignac.”

(Lalaune.)

A national subscription was got up in the ’twenties, under Charles X., to present the chateau to the posthumous son of the Duc de Berry, who afterwards became known as the Comte de Chambord, or Henri V.—­Ed.]
