FN 154 See particularly Two Letters by a Barrister concerning the East India Company (1676), and an Answer to the Two Letters published in the same year.  See also the judgment of Lord Jeffreys concerning the Great Case of Monopolies.  This judgment was published in 1689, after the downfall of Jeffreys.  It was thought necessary to apologize in the preface for printing anything that bore so odious a name.  “To commend this argument,” says the editor, “I’ll not undertake because of the author.  But yet I may tell you what is told me, that it is worthy any gentleman’s perusal.”  The language of Jeffreys is most offensive, sometimes scurrilous, sometimes basely adulatory; but his reasoning as to the mere point of law is certainly able, if not conclusive.

FN 155 Addison’s Clarinda, in the week of which she kept a journal, read nothing but Aurengzebe; Spectator, 323.  She dreamed that Mr. Froth lay at her feet, and called her Indamora.  Her friend Miss Kitty repeated, without book, the eight best lines of the play; those, no doubt, which begin, “Trust on, and think to-morrow will repay.”  There are not eight finer lines in Lucretius.
