Chapter XXIV: Appendix: D (3)

[423] [Richard Payne Knight (1750-1820), the celebrated antiquarian and collector of coins.]

[424] This name must be omitted in any copy likely to be read before Lord Strangford’s death.—V.H.

[Bartholomew Frere (1778-1851) was a younger brother of John Hookham Frere. He was Minister Plenipotentiary _ad interim_ in Spain 1809-1810, and Secretary of Legation at Constantinople for some years.]

[425] Is it possible that, in this instance also, Brougham secretly and maliciously conveyed to the object of the invective, that not he, but the person who had in truth remonstrated against it, was the author? I have no ground for a suspicion, but the mischief and fun of such a manœuvre would not be out of character, nor a solitary instance of his so indulging his malice or revenge.—V.H.

[426] [_Poems from the Portuguese of Camoëns, with Remarks and Notes._]

[427] [George Lamb (1784-1834), brother of Lord Melbourne.]

[428] 1836. The manner in which this impression was effaced through the kind offices of Mr. Rogers, ever active in promoting reconciliations between his friends, is related elsewhere in my writings, and will, if this chapter be ever finished, be in all probability again alluded to and explained.—V.H. [See _ante_, p. 122.]

[429] [These _Observations_ were written by Lord Strangford in refutation of certain statements of Colonel William Napier’s in his _History of the Peninsular War_; and Colonel Napier issued a pamphlet in answer upholding his view of the case.]

[430] Lord Strangford’s _Observations_, pp. 5, 6.—V.H.

[431] _Ibid._ pp. 10, 20, 22.—V.H.

[432] [Charles Lloyd (1735-1773), Private Secretary to George Grenville, and the writer of several political pamphlets in his patron’s interests. Lord North certainly at one time entertained suspicions that Lloyd was the author of the _Junius Letters_.]
