I cover in on purpose, etc. Cf. the Dedication of The Drummer, where Steele says that Tickell the editor of Addison's works "will not let me or any body else obey Mr. Addison's commands, in hiding any thing he desires should be concealed." On the general interpretation of the initials see the elaborate notes in Chalmers's Edition. Addison's warning to the curious, analogous to the warning against the identification of the characters of the Spectator, has been treated with equal disrespect by the Editors. The safe inference that Addison's papers were signed 'C.' 'L.' 'I.’ or 'O.' did not satisfy Dr. Calder, who started the absurd tradition that 'C' meant written at Chelsea,' 'L' at London, 'I' in Ireland, and 'O,' at the Office. PAGE 198. Motto. Horace, Epist.
