{43} An Unequal Match, by Tom Taylor, at Wallack's Theatre, New York, November 6, 1882.

{74} 'Make' is of course a mere printer's error for 'mock,' and was subsequently corrected by Lord Houghton. The sonnet as given in The Garden of Florence reads 'orbs' for 'those.'

{158} September 1890. See Intentions, page 214.

{163} November 30, 1891.

{164} February 12, 1892.

{170} February 23, 1893.

{172} The verses called 'The Shamrock' were printed in the Sunday Sun, August 5, 1894, and the charge of plagiarism was made in the issue dated September 16, 1894.

{188} Cousin errs a good deal in this respect. To say, as he did, 'Give me the latitude and the longitude of a country, its rivers and its mountains, and I will deduce the race,' is surely a glaring exaggeration.

{190} The monarchical, aristocratical, and democratic elements of the Roman constitution are referred to.

{193a} Polybius, vi. 9. [Greek].

{193b} [Greek].

{193c} The various stages are [Greek].

{197a} Polybius, xii. 24.

{197b} Polybius, i. 4, viii. 4, specially; and really passim.

{198a} He makes one exception.

{198b} Polybius, viii. 4.

{199} Polybius, xvi. 12.

{200a} Polybius, viii. 4: [Greek].

{200b} Polybius resembled Gibbon in many respects. Like him he held that all religions were to the philosopher equally false, to the vulgar equally true, to the statesman equally useful.

{203} Cf. Polybius, xii. 25, [Greek].

{205} Polybius, xxii. 22.

{207} I mean particularly as regards his sweeping denunciation of the complete moral decadence of Greek society during the Peloponnesian War which, from what remains to us of Athenian literature, we know must have been completely exaggerated. Or, rather, he is looking at men merely in their political dealings: and in politics the man who is personally honourable and refined will not scruple to do anything for his party.

{211} Polybius, xii. 25.

{253} As an instance of the inaccuracy of published reports of this lecture, it may be mentioned that all previous versions give this passage as The artist may trace the depressed revolution of Bunthorne simply to the lack of technical means!
