I cover in on purpose, etc. Cf. the Dedication of The Drummer, where Steele says that Tickell the editor of Addison's works "will not let me or any body else obey Mr. Addison's commands, in hiding any thing he desires should be concealed." On the general interpretation of the initials see the elaborate notes in Chalmers's Edition. Addison's warning to the curious, analogous to the warning against the identification of the characters of the Spectator, has been treated with equal disrespect by the Editors. The safe inference that Addison's papers were signed 'C.' 'L.' 'I.’ or 'O.' did not satisfy Dr. Calder, who started the absurd tradition that 'C' meant written at Chelsea,' 'L' at London, 'I' in Ireland, and 'O,' at the Office.

in the collected edition of 1748, p. 146 (Cf. ante, p. 319).
Welsted's Remarks on Longinus, in a Letter to a Friend, printed
at the end of Welsted's translation, London 1712, rather unblush-
ingly reproduces the sentiments and references in this paper.
Curiously enough, he refers to, among other things, his corre-
spondent's admiration of the ballad of Chevy Chace ("your beloved
Chevy Chace"); but the correspondent cannot well be Addison,
and Welsted's letter cannot claim priority, for it refers to a criticism
on Milton in the Spectator, which appeared in No. 333.

in a general way inspired by Scudéry's work, may have served as
