PBBFAOB..

At p. 300. an anecdote is given from ah earlier volume
of the magazine which, contained the printed papers by
Cooke (European Magazine, xxi. 88), but with careful
avoidance of any clue to the authority. At pp. 813-321 not
a few of the traits of Hiffernan are borrowed from one of
Cooke's papers respecting him (European Magazine, xxv,
110-184), still with no hint of any such source. At
p. 340-350, a very characteristic story of Goldsmith is
copied without allusion from the Percy Memoir (100),
At p, 353 an incident is mentioned as "according to the
"late Mr. John Taylor," which is simply copied from
Taylor's Records (i. 118). And so, at pp. 370 and 401,
where the incidents given are silently transcribed from
Northcoto (Life of Reynolds, i. 288 and 286). -

At p, 381 a pleasant anecdote appears as though
originally told, but which Cooke had long "before related in
print (European Magazimt xxiv. 261) \ at p. 380-387, two
letters are appropriated without allusion to dolman's
Posthumous Jjclters (1820: 180), or to Garrick's Corre*
spondence (1830: i. 527), where they first appeared; at
pp, 389, 405, and 481, anecdotes, full of character, which
Cooke certainly deserved the credit of having told in print
(European Magazine, xxiv. 178, 261, and 262), are given
without an allusion to him \ at pp, 421 and 473, two
anecdotes, the former being one of the most charming
recorded of Goldsmith, which had been told in the same
magazine, but in a later and an earlier number than those
in which Cooke wroto (Iv. 443, and xix. 94), are silently
taken in the sumo way ; at p. 465-466, a curious trait given
as " mentioned by Malone " might as well have been given
as copied from his Life of Dry den (i. 618) j and, for aprinted without the slightest hint that it had been. that I have corrected
