“So stood the feelings of the young man, when, one day after dinner, the doctor snuffing the candle, and taking from his pouch the great leathern pocketbook in which he deposited particular papers, with a small supply of the most necessary and active medicines, he took from it Mr. Moncada’s letters, and requested Richard Middlemas’s serious attention,” vol. 2, p. 88 and 89.  Who is he? the doctor?  Is he not mentioned before?  And there he is left to stand without his natural support, for he has taken it from him.  Does not the writer of this sentence recollect “My banks they are furnished with bees.”  I could add another take from to the page by way of note.

The following I leave without comment.

“Judg_e_ment,” vol. 1, p. 2; vol. 6, p. 6. and judgment, vol. 1, p. 85, a heraldic shield, vol. 1, p. 68; desir_e_able, vol. 2, p. 39.

As much iron as would have builded a brig, vol. 1, page 68.  A good tune is grinded, vol. 1, p. 143.  Butler and Mercer had both spoke to their disparagement, vol. 2, p. 289.

Worthy Mr. Piper, best of contractors who ever furnished four frampal jades, vol. 1, p. 45.

With the next morning I will still see the double summit of the ancient Dan, vol. 1, p. 229.

And then I will find it easier to have you prosecuted, vol. 2, p. 169.

We will be happy, if it is in our power, to repay a part of our obligations, vol. 2, p. 222.

Thou art the fiend who hast occasioned my wretchedness in this world, and who will share my eternal misery in the next, vol. 2, p. 229.

He found himself under the alternative of being with him on decent and distant terms, or of breaking off with him altogether.  The first of these courses might perhaps have been the wisest, but the other was the most congenial to the blunt and plain character of Hartley, vol. 2, p. 256.

He inquired at their superior for Barak el Hadgi, vol. 2, p. 263.

And inquiring at those whom he considered the best newsmongers, vol. 2, p. 276.

He faltered out inquiries at his niece, vol. 1, p. 20.

Your father asked none save at his courage and his sword, vol. 1, p. 260.

The concluding (of) a literary undertaking, vol. 2, p. 1.

I would as soon dress a corpse, when the great fiend himself—­God sain us—­stood visibly before us, than when Elspat of the Free is amongst us, vol. 1, p. 250.  November 7, 1827.  Oculus.[2]

    [2] We are compelled to defer our Correspondent’s Notes on his
    second reading of Ivanhoe—­Ed.
