[463:1] Stanhope: Conversations with the Duke of Wellington, p. 81.
[463:2] This phrase was first used by the Duke of Wellington in a letter, about 1839 or 1840.—Sala: Echoes of the Week, in London Illustrated News, Aug. 23, 1884. Greville, Mem., ch. ii. (1823), gives an earlier instance.
[463:3] Sir William Fraser, in "Words on Wellington" (1889), p. 12, says this phrase originated with the Duke. Captain Gronow, in his "Recollections," says it originated with the Duke of York, second son of George III., about 1817.
[463:4] This gave rise to the slang expression, "And no mistake."—Words on Wellington, p. 122.

Can see her beauty in.

The Derby dilly, carrying three INSIDES.

Black 's not so black,—nor white so very white.
New Morality.
Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe,
Bold I can meet,—perhaps may turn his blow!
But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send,
Save, save, oh save me from the candid friend![464:1]
