FOOTNOTES:
An incident very like one in Jack Sheppard— A work some have lauded, and others have pepper'd— Where a Dutch pirate kidnaps, and tosses Thames Darrel Just so in the sea, and he's saved by a barrel,— On the coast, if I recollect rightly, it's flung whole, And the hero, half-drown'd, scrambles out of the bung-hole.
[It aint no sich thing!—the hero aint bung'd in no barrel at all.—He's picked up by a Captain, just as Norman was arterwards.—Print. Dev.]
It has been already hinted that Mr. Peters had been a "traveller" in his day. The only story which his lady would ever allow "her P." to finish—he began as many as would furnish an additional volume to the "Thousand and One Nights"—is the last I shall offer. The subject, I fear me, is not over new, but will remind my friends
"Of something better they have seen before."
