repeat for the last time; though the heart may, we hope, be metaphorically used here with more propriety than when we apply those passions to the body which belong to the soul.] [Footnote 7: That we may mention it once for all, in the panegyrical part of this work some particular person is always meant: but, in the satirical, nobody.] [Footnote 8: These ladies, I believe, by their names, presided over the leprosy, king's-evil, and scurvy.] [Footnote 9: This silly story is told as a solemn truth (i.e., that St. James really appeared in the manner this fellow is described) by Mariana, 1.7, Section 78.] [Footnote 10: Here part of the manuscript is lost, and that a very considerable one, as appears by the number of the next book and chapter, which contains, I find, the history of Anna Boleyn; but as to the manner in which it was introduced, or to whom the narrative is told, we are totally left in the dark. I have only to remark, that this chapter is, in the original, writ in a woman's hand: and, though the observations in it are, I think, as excellent as any in the whole volume, there seems to be a difference in style between this and the preceding chapters; and, as it is the character of a woman which is related, I am inclined to fancy it was really written by one of that sex.] [Footnote 11: Here ends this curious manuscript; the rest being destroyed in rolling up pens, tobacco, &c. It is to be hoped heedless people will henceforth be more cautious what they burn, or use to other vile purposes; especially when they consider the fate which had likely to have befallen the divine Milton, and that the works of Homer were probably discovered in some chandlers shop in Greece.] End of Project Gutenberg's From This World to the Next, by Henry Fielding *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK FROM THIS WORLD TO THE NEXT *** ***** This file should be named 1147.txt or 1147.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/1/1/4/1147/ Produced by Charles Keller Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
