With plenty of other curious matter.  That ode is extinct, but will revive.

4.  So also with “A Creed, &c.,” which bears the imprint of Simpkin & Marshall, and the date 1870.  Its chief peculiarities are summed up in the concluding lines:—­

    “So then, in brief, my creed is truly this;
    Conscience is our chief seed of woe or bliss;
    God who made all things is to all things Love,
    Balancing wrongs below by rights above;
    Evil seemed needful that the good be shown,
    And Good was swift that Evil to atone;
    While creatures, link’d together, each with each,
    Of one great Whole in changeful sequence teach,
    Life-presence everywhere sublimely vast
    And endless for the future as the past.”

For I believe in some future life for the lower animals as well as for their unworthier lord; and in the immortality of all creation.  Some other poems and hymns also are in this pamphlet.

5.  My “Fifty Protestant Ballads,” published, by Ridgeway, will be mentioned hereafter.

6.  “Ten Letters on the Female Martyrs of the Reformation,” published by the Protestant Mission.

7 and 8.  “Hactenus” and “A Thousand Lines,” most whereof are in my “Cithara” and Miscellaneous Poems.

9.  A pamphlet about Canada, and its closer union to us by dint of imperialism and honours, dated several years before these have come to pass.

10.  Sundry shorter pamphlets on Rhyme, Model Colonisation, Druidism, Household Servants, My Newspaper, Easter Island, False Schooling, &c. &c.  Not to mention some serial letters long ago in the Times about the Coronation, Ireland, and divers other topics.  Every author writes to the Times.

11.  As a matter of course I have written both with my name and without it (according to editorial rule) in many magazines and reviews, from the Quarterly of Lockhart’s time to the Rock of this, not to count numerous reviews of books passim, besides innumerable fly-leaves, essayettes, sermonettes, &c. &c., in the Rock and elsewhere.

12.  I was editor for about two years of an extinct three-monthly, the Anglo-Saxon:  in one of which I wrote nine articles, as the contributions received were inappropriate.  I never worked harder in my life; but the magazine failed, the chief reason being that the monied man who kept it alive insisted upon acceptance when rejection was inevitable.

13.  Some printed letters of mine on Grammar, issued in small pamphlet form at the Practical Teacher office; and sundry others unpublished, called “Talks about Science,” still in MS.

14.  “America Revisited,” a lecture, in three numbers, of Golden Hours.

15.  Separate bundles of ballads in pamphlet form about Australia, New Zealand, Church Abuses, The War, &c. &c.

Besides possibly some other like booklets forgotten.
