[[47]] Address to the Deil.
[[48]] The quotation is from Tristram Shandy, vol. iii. chap. xi. In the Edinburgh Review it is preceded by the sentence: "He did not know, probably, that Sterne had been beforehand with him."

[[49]] The two following paragraphs, including the quotation from Burns, were not in the essay as printed in the Edinburgh Preview.
[[50]] "Facit indignatio versum."—Juvenal, I. 79.
[[51]] Dr. Johnson said of his friend Dr. Bathurst: "Dear Bathurst was a man to my very heart's content; he hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a Whig. He was a very good hater."—Piozzi's Anecdotes of Dr. Johnson. Carlyle himself, in his scornful epigrams at men and institutions that seemed to him false and insincere, is a near approach to a "good hater."
[[52]] Cf. Paradise Lost, I. 63.
[[53]] Ode, Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Oswald.
[[54]] The authority for this account is a letter from Mr. Syme, printed in Currie's Life. Burns himself sent Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled to Thomson September 1, 1793, in company with a letter, in which he says that the song was composed on an evening walk the day before.
