Note 1. Emily was used during the last century as a diminutive for
Amelia. There is really no etymological connection between the two

Note 2. In and about London, the name of jumbles is given to a common
kind of gingerbread, to be obtained at the small sweet-shops: but these
are not the old English jumball of the text.
Note 3. There was no Queen at this time. Augusta of Saxe Gotha was
Princess of Wales, and the King had three grown-up unmarried daughters.
Note 4. This provincialism is correct for Lancashire, and as far as I
know for Cumberland.
