story of St Bartholomew's Hospital_, by Norman Moore,
M.D., London. C. Arthur Pearson, Limited, 1918.

{137b} Sir Norman Moore expresses his thanks to Mr Thomas Hayes, the
present Clerk of the Hospital, for his courtesy on innumerable occasions
during the progress of the author's researches.

{141} It is curious that, although the Christian names of men occurring
in the history are quite ordinary, the women's names are often
unfamiliar, _e.g._, Godena, Sabelina, Hawisia, Lecia, Auina, Hersent,
Wakerilda.

{142} Doubtless Dr Moore himself.

{144} William may have come from the village of Bassingbourne, near
Cambridge.

{145} See _Henry IV._, Part ii., Act v., Scene v.

{150} In 1561 a new seal was made which is still in use.

{154} Here and elsewhere I have fallen a victim to Dr Moore's pleasant
gift of narrative, for I cannot pretend that either Paulus Jovius or
Robert Browning are connected with the hospital.

{164} My uncle, Henry Wedgwood, as an undergraduate at Jesus, made a
happy use of Peacock's name:--

"Walk in and see
Our menagerie,
For amateurs a feast,

And . . . is our beast."

I have forgotten the name of the beast, but he was an unpopular fellow of
Jesus.

{166} I am surprised that so large a sum was charged in those days; in
my time the coach received 8 pounds.

Holland. With a selection from his letters, edited by Mrs Austin. 2nd
Edit., 1855.

{175b} Her maiden name was Pybus; they were married in 1799 or 1800.

{175c} Sydney Smith believed (i., p. 403) that "one of the Duke of
Wellington's earliest victories was at Eton, over" Sydney's "eldest
brother Bobus."

{176a} The remark was allowable since Robert was singularly handsome
(i., p. 4).

{176b} I gather that the fellowship was but 100 pounds per annum.

{177a} Francis Jeffrey, afterwards Lord Jeffrey, 1773-1850, was the son
of a high Tory, but personally a Liberal. He is described as being
healthy though diminutive. Sydney Smith makes jokes about his stature:
_e.g._, 3rd September 1809, "Are we to see you? (a difficult thing at all
times to do)." In character he is described as "nervous, sensitive, and
tender." Sydney wrote to him in 1806:--If "you could be
