[Footnote 6: 'laggingly represented'--A word belonging to _time_ is
substituted for a word belonging to _space_:--'this over-done, or
inadequately effected'; 'this over-done, or under-done.']
[Footnote 7: 'and the judgment of such a one.' '_the which_' seems

was myself when the true was pointed out to me--fancying _abominable_

[Footnote 10: tolerably.]
[Footnote 11: 'Sir' _not in Q._]
[Footnote 12: Shakspere must have himself suffered from such clowns:
Coleridge thinks some of their _gag_ has crept into his print.]
[Footnote 13: Here follow in the _1st Q._ several specimens of such a
clown's foolish jests and behaviour.]
