1
A View of Devonshire in MDCXXX., by Thomas Westcote, Esq., Exeter, 1845.
2
The unlettered bard has probably confused "styx" with the kindling, "yelding," of hell-fire.
3
Flame.
4
I have often wondered what namsac (so pronounced) could be, but since I have seen the story as told by "H.J.M." it is evidently "namesake."
5
Probably crook in the original, to rhyme with Jock.
6
"I way'd me" is yet used in parts of Yorkshire for "I went."
7
"To late" is "to seek;" from lateo, as if by a confusion of hiding and seeking.
8
"Kirk" is not a very good rhyme to "seek;" perhaps it should be "search" and "church".
9
We find at page 200, an Order of the Council, dated Dec. 5. 1737, respecting the disposition of the band at the funeral of Queen Caroline, signed by "TEMPLE STANYAN," the subject of a Query in No. 24. p. 382., and of several Replies in our last, No. 28. p. 460.
