The real and personal estate,--taking the property bequeathed by the
last codicil at a valuation of something less than two years' purchase;
and of course before payment of the legacies, the (inconsiderable)
debts, and the testamentary and other expenses,--amounted, as nearly as
may be calculated, to, L93,000.

CORRECTIONS MADE IN THE LATER EDITIONS OF THE SECOND VOLUME.

I regret to have had no opportunity until now (May, 1873) of making the
corrections which appear in this impression of my second volume. All the
early reprints having been called for before the close of 1872, the only
change I at that time found possible was amendment of an error at p.
397, as to the date of the first performance at Devonshire House, and of
a few others of small importance at pp. 262, 291, 320, 360, 444, and
446.

Premising that additional corrections, also unimportant, are now made at
pp. 57, 135, 136, 142, 301, 329, 405, and 483, I proceed to indicate
what may seem to require more detailed mention.

P. 50. "Covent-garden" is substituted for
"Drury-lane." The _Chronicle_ atoned for its
present silence by a severe notice of the man's
subsequent appearance at the Haymarket; and of
