Address to the
Mansion-House, care of the Lord Mayor, whom I will instruct to receive
names and subscriptions for me until I can organise a committee.
Footnotes
{1} The last part of Chapter XXIII in this Gutenberg eText.--DP.
{2} See Handel's compositions for the harpsichord, published by Litolf,
p. 78.
{3} The myth above alluded to exists in Erewhon with changed names, and
considerable modifications. I have taken the liberty of referring to the
story as familiar to ourselves.
{4} What a _safe_ word "relation" is; how little it predicates! yet it
has overgrown "kinsman."
{5} The root alluded to is not the potato of our own gardens, but a
plant so near akin to it that I have ventured to translate it thus.
Apropos of its intelligence, had the writer known Butler he would
probably have said--
"He knows what's what, and that's as high,
As metaphysic wit can fly."
{6} Since my return to England, I have been told that those who are
conversant about machines use many terms concerning them which show that
their vitality is here recognised, and that a collection of expressions
in use among those who attend on steam engines would be no less startling
than instructive.
