the first Christian honoured with such an appointment in the East.  He died at his post in 1830, deeply regretted.  He was author of ‘Cuna of Cheyd’ and the ‘Sabbath among the Mountains,’ and many other things, original and editorial.  He left a MS. poem, entitled ‘India,’ and a translation of the Gospels into the Cutch dialect of Hindoostanee.  He will hold a niche in literature as the fifteenth bard in the ‘Queen’s Wake’ who sings of ‘King Edward’s Dream.’  He married a sister of Mrs. Hogg.

P. 5, footnote.  Peterkin was a laborious compiler; but his Lives of Burns and Fergusson are written in the most high-flown and exaggerated style imaginable.  He died in 1847.

P. 5, l. 9.  ‘Mr. Gilbert Burns ... a favourable opportunity,’ &c.  This excellent, common-sensed, and humble man’s contributions to the later impressions (1804, &c.) of Dr. Currie’s edition of Burns are of permanent value—­very much more valuable than later brilliant productions that have displaced them.  In Peterkin’s Burns there is a letter from Gilbert Burns to him, dated September 29th, 1814.

P. 7.  Verse-quotation from Burns.  From ’Address to the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous’ (closing stanzas).

P. 15.  Verse-quotation.  From Burns’ ‘A Bard’s Epitaph.’

P. 17, footnote.  Long before Wordsworth, Thomas Watson, in his ’Epistle to the Frendly Reader’ prefixed to his [Greek:  EKATOMPATHIA] (1582), wrote:  ’As for any Aristarchus, Momus, or Zoilus, if they pinch me more than is reasonable, thou, courteous Reader, which arte of a better disposition, shalt rebuke them in my behalfe; saying to the first [Aristarchus], that my birdes are al of mine own hatching,’ &c.

P. 21, ll. 30-37, Chatterton; ll. 38-40, &c., Michael Bruce.  Both of the suggested monuments have been raised; Chatterton’s at Bristol, and Bruce’s over his grave.  A photograph of the latter is given in our quarto edition of his Poems.

II. Upon Epitaphs.

Written by William Camden, Esquire, Clarenceux King of Armes, surnamed the Learned.  The sixth Impression, with many rare Antiquities never before imprinted.  By the Industry and Care of John Philpot, Somerset Herald:  and W.D.  Gent.  London, 1657, 4to.  Epitaphes, pp. 355-409.  It has not been deemed necessary to point out the somewhat loose character of the quotations from Camden by Wordsworth; nor, with so many editions available, would it have served any good end to have given the places in the ‘Epitaphes.’  While Wordsworth evidently read both Camden and Weever, his chief authority seems to have been a book that appeared on the sale of his library, viz.  ’Wit’s Recreations; containing 630 Epigrams, 160 Epitaphs, and variety of Fantasies and Fantastics, good for Melancholy Humours. 1641.’
