[25.] The former says merely “the last parts”, the latter designates “the last three.”

[27.] This article is not to be confused with Garve’s well-known article published in the same magazine, LXI, pp. 51–77 (1798).

[29.] This is from the February number, 1767, of the Monthly Review. (Vol. XXXVI, p. 102.)
[30.] The seventh and eighth volumes of Shandy, English edition, are reviewed in the first number of a short-lived Frankfurt periodical, Neue Auszüge aus den besten ausländischen Wochen und Monatsschriften, 1765. Unterhaltungen, a magazine published at Hamburg and dealing largely with English interests, notes the London publication of the spurious ninth volume of Shandy (Vol. II, p. 152, August, 1766). Die Brittische Bibliothek, another magazine consisting principally of English reprints and literary news, makes no mention of Sterne up to 1767. Then in a catalogue of English books sold by Casper Fritsch in Leipzig, Shandy is given, but without the name of the author. There is an account of Sterne’s sermons in the Neue Hamburgische Zeitung, April, 1768.

[32.] Kürschner edition of Lessing’s works, III, 2, pp. 156–157. See also “Lessing und die Engländer” by Josef Caro in Euphorion, VI, pp. 489 ff. Erich Schmidt made the statement in his life of Lessing in the edition of 1884, but corrected it later, in the edition of 1899, probably depending on parallel passages drawn from Paul Albrecht’s “Lessing’s Plagiate” (Hamburg and Leipzig, 1888–1891), an extraordinary work which by its frequent absurdity and its viciousness of attack forfeits credence in its occasional genuine discoveries.
