FOOTNOTES

[1] It formed the machine on which Iris appeared (vol. vii.).  I have been favoured by Samuel Egerton Brydges, Esq., with the following “Extract from the Journal of Captain Christopher Gunman, commander of his Royal Highness’s yacht the Mary, lying in Calais pier, Tuesday, 18th March: 

  “1683-4,

  “March 18th.  It was variable cloudy weather:  this morning about seven
  o’clock saw in the firmament three suns, with two demi-rainbows; and
  all within one whole rainbow, in form and shape as here pourtrayed: 

[Illustration]

The sun towards the left hand bore east, and that on the right hand bore south-east of me.  I did sit and draw it as well as the time and place would permit me; for it was seen in its full form about the space of half an hour; but part of the rainbow did see above two hours.  It appeared first at three-quarters past six, and was over-clouded at a quarter past seven.  The wind north-by-west.”

Mr. Gunman, the descendant of the captain, has lately had a picture on the subject painted by Serres, the marine painter; which makes an interesting history-piece.  It represents the phenomenon in the heavens—­ the harbour of Calais—­and the yacht lying off it, etc. etc.

[2] This tradition is thus critically examined, and proved by Mr. Malone:—­
