In A is printed the following advertisement, which is here quoted in further illustration of the note on p. 330 of vol. i.

Hungary Water, right and fine, large half Pini (Flint) Bottles for 15d. at Strahan's, Bookseller, against the Royal Exchange. Note, it is the same sort by which Isabella, Queen of Hungary, so long preserved her Life and Health. She always poured a small quantity in the Water she washed her Hands and face withal.” She “ used it with great success in old Pains and the Rheumatism” and commended it especially for Pains in the Head and the Vapours. It is to be taken in a morning draught of ale to aid digestion; to be used by barbers, on their customers' heads and faces after shaving, and by Bagnio keepers, “who should pour some of these Bottles over the Gentlemen and Ladies when they came out of the Bath." Motto. Cicero, Tusc. Disput. I. xv.

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 some disrespect by the Editors. The safe inference that Addison's papers were signed ‘C.''L.' 'I.' or O.' did not satisfy Dr. Calder, who held the absurd opinion 'that 'C' meant 'written at Chelsea,' 'L' at London, 'I' in

Ireland, and ‘O,' at the Office. See also vii. 323. PAGE 198. Motto. Horace, Epist. II. ii. 183-4.

Those who are inclined to Subscribe, are desired to make their first Payments to Jacob Tonson, Bookseller in the Strand; the Books being so near finished, that they will be ready for the Subscribers at, or before Christmas next.

Welsted's Remarks on Longinus, in a Letter to a Friend, printed at the end of Welsted's translation, London 1712, rather unblushingly reproduces the sentiments and references in this paper. Curiously enough, he refers to, among other things, his correspondent's admiration of the ballad of Chevy Chace (“your beloved Chevy Chace”); but the correspondent cannot well be Addison, and Welsted's letter cannot claim priority, for it refers

to a criticism on Milton in the Spectator, which appeared in No. 333.
