Page 178. POOR RELATIONS.
London Magazine, May, 1823.
Page 179, line 10. A pound of sweet. After these words, in the London Magazine, came one more descriptive clause—"the bore par excellence."
Page 181, line 4, Richard Amlet, Esq. In "The Confederacy" by Sir
John Vanbrugh—a favourite part of John Palmer's (see the essay "On
Some of the Old Actors").
Page 181, line 16. Poor W——. In the Key Lamb identifies W—— with Favell, who "left Cambridge because he was asham'd of his father, who was a house-painter there." Favell has already been mentioned in the essay on "Christ's Hospital."
Page 183, line 22. At Lincoln. The Lambs, as we have seen, came from Lincolnshire. The old feud between the Above and Below Boys seems now to have abated, but a social gulf between the two divisions of the city remains.
Page 184, line 11 from foot. John Billet. Probably not the real name. Lamb gives the innkeeper at Widford, in "Rosamund Gray," the name of Billet, when it was really Clemitson.
