ENDNOTES

1. First man as prima donna is first lady.

2. "Stone of Terror,"—a name not unfrequently used in these regions.

3. "O Mors quamest amara memoria tua hominibus injustis, viro quieto sujus omnes res flunt ordinate et ad hoc." This sentence is taken from the Bible. But there the rich are named instead of the wicked, and the poor instead of the just.

4. Jean Croce de Chioggo, sixteenth century.

5. The author here enters, in a note, into some particulars relative to the hurdy-gurdy players in France. The principal instructors, it appears, are in Bourbonnais, in the woods. There simple compositions, which they reckon by the hundreds, and are yearly renewed, embrace only the simplest elements of music.

6. "Go, my son, thou art the first singer in the world."

7. Now, with its flowery face, the beauteous spring returns,

Among the grass and flowers the zephyrs sport with glee,

The leaves adorn the trees, the waving grass the fields.

But my heart's peace returns not yet to me.

8. "No, Berenice, thou dost not here fully open thy heart."

9. "What thou knowest of my adventures seems to thee, then, a trifling matter?"

10. Historical truth requires us to say also by what bravados Trenck provoked this inhuman treatment. From the first day of his arrival at Vienna he had been put under arrest in his own house by the imperial order. He had, nevertheless, shown himself at the opera that very evening, and in an interlude had tried to throw Count Gossaw into the pit.
