[Footnote 9: It is to be regretted that the author has not followed the good example set him by Johnson, in his Debates in the Senate of Magna Lilliputia, published in the Gentlemen's Magazine for 1738: the denominations of the speakers being formed of the letters of their real names, so that they might be easily deciphered. This neglect has obscured many of the author's most interesting satires. Who could suppose from the letters alone, that Wigurd, Vindar, and Avarabet, were respectively intended for Godwin, Darwin, and Lavater?]
[Footnote 10: It is a curious circumstance, that Swift, in his description of the Academy of Lagado, should have so completely anticipated the Pestalozzian invention.]
