[81] This long sentence, between brackets, was struck out by Mr. Southey, in perusing the MS., through delicacy, as it referred to himself; but on the present occasion it is restored [Cottle]. [Cottle submitted the MS. of his Early Recollections to Southey before publication.]

Slow journeys onward poor misfortune’s child;” etc. [Cottle].
[The lines were first included in the Monody in 1829.]
