 ii s. m. FEB. 11, wit.] NOTES AND QUERIES.

It would seem that nothing came of H. C. R.'s kindly intervention. De Quincey's name does not occur in Valpy's Classical Journal, and none of the articles raise a suspicion that he had any share in them.

On 6 July, 1824, Oabb Robinson took tea with Lamb. Hessey gave an account of De Quincey's description of his bodily suf- ferings. " He should have employed as his publishers," said Lamb, " Pain and Fuss " (Payne & Foss) not a very brilliant joke.

The last reference to De Quincey is dated 29 August, 1836, and expresses the diarist's opinion that it was Cottle's right and duty to make known the generous gift of the Opium-Eater to Coleridge.
