rica, i., p. 21, where he adds, "Thus were written such books as Eothen and Rambles beyond Railways; thus were not written Lane's Egyptians or Davis's Chinese." [Footnote 532: The general reader will prefer Mrs. Hamilton Gray's Tour to the Sepulchres of Etruria, 1839; and may like to refer to the review of it in The Gentleman's Magazine for April, 1841.] [Footnote 533: Phrynichus.] [Footnote 534: Supplemental Nights, Lib. Ed., x., 302, Note.] [Footnote 535: The recent speeches (July 1905) of the Bishop of Ripon and the letters of the Rev. Dr. Barry on this danger to the State will be in the minds of many.] [Footnote 536: Burton means what is now called the Neo-Malthusian system, which at the time was undergoing much discussion, owing to the appearance, at the price of sixpence, of Dr. H. Allbutt's well-known work The Wife's Handbook. Malthus's idea was to limit families by late marriages; the Neo-Malthusians, who take into consideration the physiological evils arising from celibacy, hold that it is better for people to marry young, and limit their family by lawful means.] [Footnote 537: This is Lady Burton's version. According to another version it was not this change in government that stood in Sir Richard's way.] [Footnote 538: Vide the Preface to Burton's Catullus.] [Footnote 539: We are not so prudish as to wish to see any classical work, intended for the bona fide student, expurgated. We welcome knowledge, too, of every kind; but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that in much of Sir Richard's later work we are not presented with new information. The truth is, after the essays and notes in The Arabian Nights, there was nothing more to say. Almost all the notes in the Priapeia, for example, can be found in some form or other in Sir Richard's previous works.] [Footnote 540: Decimus Magnus Ausonius (A.D. 309 to A.D. 372) born at Burdegala (Bordeaux). Wrote epigrams, Ordo Nobilium Urbium, short poems on famous cities, Idyllia, Epistolae and the autobiographical Gratiarum Actio.] [Footnote 541: Among the English translations of Catullus may be mentioned those by the Hon. George Lamb, 1821, and Walter K. Kelly, 1854 (these are given in Bohn's edition), Sir Theodore Martin, 1861, James Cranstoun, 1867, Robinson Ellis, 1867 and 1871, Sir Richard Burton, 1894, Francis Warre Cornish, 1904. All are in verse except Kelly's and Cornish's. See also Chapter xxxv. of this work.] [Footnote 542: Mr. Kirby wa
