 482 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* s. iv. DEC. IB, ra It was probably the banking business—ol which lie had become the head since his father's death in 1793—that prevented his visiting Italy, a country so congenial to a man of his tastes, until 1825, and he made a last visit there the year before he died. It was his custom to overlook his collection of prints and drawings—said to be the most magnificent in England — daily. And this it was that no doubt helped to alle- viate the shock caused by the closing of his bank, though he only survived it one year, dying at his house in Clapham on 2 October, 1837, and being buried in the family vault in Bunhill Fields. His portrait was painted by George Sharpies (engraved by Robert Graves in 1826), by Sir David Wilkie (exhibited in the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition 1888), and by Sir Thomas Lawrence. His whole collection was in 1838 and 1840 dispersed at Christie's, and realized 9.409/. 15s. HAROLD MALET, Col. HERRICK'S 'HESPERIDES,' 1648. If! the preface to his edition of Herrick, 1870, Dr. Grosart observes (p. vii):— "One curious typographical difference in copies of the same-dated volume [1648] suggests that the types may have been kept standing for awhile. In the ' Hesperides,' p. 207, while the catchword ' 11. Where' is found in some—as in my own—the stanza to which it belongs is dropped out and p. 208 commences with 12. It is vain to sing, or stay. In most copies that I have examined and had reported on, the stanza appears as in our vol. ii. p.129." The result of a close examination of the original and corrected issues of the ' Hes- perides ' leads me to differ from Dr. Grosart's opinion that the type was kept standing for a time. I think there is no doubt that the type of pp. 207-8 had been distributed before the error of the missing stanza was dis- covered. My reason for this opinion is that not only was the missing Stanza 11 inserted, but many other alterations in the text were made in the revised issue. The following are the typographical changes in the two issues, which I will denominate respectively A and B :— P. 207, Stanza 3, 1. 1 :— (A) Yet, ere twelve Moon* shall whirl about (B) Yet, ere twelve Moone.s shall whirl about P. 207, Stanza 4,11. 2, 3 :— (A) As that your Pans no Ebbe may know ; But if they do, the more to flow, (B) As that your pans no Ebbe may know ; But if they do, the more to flow.
