ANNOTATION. 95 



made a very large addition to my list. Bates, 

 Webb, Brewster, Quin, Foote, Derrick, Pratt (the 

 author of the Gleanings, which had a short-lived 

 popularity), Lady Pennington, Mrs. Dobson, Mrs. 

 Radcliffe, the romance-writer, when Miss Ward, 

 Miss Hamilton, who is said to have written her 

 Memoirs of Modern Philosophers in American Build- 

 ings, Haynes Bayly, Mr. Dorset Fellows, Mr. Cabanel, 

 Mr. Giles; the Rev. Archdeacon Daubeny, and the 

 Rev. Dr. Moysey, for their works in controversial 

 divinity ; and, more eminent than these, the Rev. 

 Mr. Hoblyn, the learned translator of the Georgics ; 

 and more eminent still the author of Vathek. Vathek 

 suggests Gebir ; and if I say that there still lives one 

 whose name will take a higher place in the history 

 of the literature of this century than any of those of 

 whom I have had occasion to speak, I confidently 

 presume that 1 am but anticipating the judgment of 

 a future age. 



Note-making is such easy work, that he who 

 engages in it hardly knows when to stop. I could 

 willingly speak of others, and at least of one other 

 poet — Mr, John Edmund Reade, who are still sup- 

 porting the ' literary reputation of Bath. But this 

 must not be, and here I close.
