Education," Belsham's "George II.," and Hawkins' "Life of Johnson."]

[Footnote 128: Furini is also honourably mentioned in Pilkington's
"Dictionary of Painters," revised by Fuseli, and till the middle of the
present century the authoritative work on the subject. It is stated in
the edition of 1805 that "many of his paintings are in Florence, which
are deemed to add honour to the valuable collections of the nobility of
that city."]

[Footnote 129: The allusion in vol. xvi. p. 195, to the old artificer
who could make men "believe" instead of merely "fancy" that what he
presented to them was real, refers especially to the Greek painter
Zeuxis; but it is suggested by the generally realistic character of

"Painter-like Beauty in the Open Air."]

[Footnote 131: The last line and a half of the eighth stanza was
directly suggested by the tragedy of AEschylus; the thunderstorm by
another version of the Promethean myth.]

[Footnote 133: Battle of Arbela.]

entitled "The New Amphion."]

Musical Expression" and other works.]

[Footnote 136: The "Relfe" spoken of in this connection was Mr.
Browning's music-master: a learned contrapuntist.]

[Footnote 137: In interpreting this passage I have somewhat exceeded the
letter, but only to emphasize the spirit of Mr. Browning's words.]

[Footnote 138: From an MS. copy formerly in the possession of Mr.
Browning's father.]

[Footnote 139: The wealth to which he alludes was justly imputed to him,
as the real Fust was a goldsmith's son.]

[Footnote 140: The relation of John Fust to the popular legend is
pleasantly set forth in Mr. Sutherland Edwards' little book, "The Faust
Legend: Its Origin and Development."]

NOTE.

The following note shows Mr. Browning in a more pronounced attitude
towards the opponents of the new Greek spelling than does that which, by
his desire, I inserted in my first edition; but the last mood was in
this case only a natural development of the first:--

"I have just noticed in this month's 'Nineteenth Century' that it is

exceptional conditions) Greek prope
