COPIOUS NOTES:

BY JAMES JENNINGS,

Author of Observations on the Dialects of the West of England, &c. &c.

"They whisper Truths in Reason's ear,
If human pride will stoop to hear."

Quel bien manque à vos vœux interessants oiseaux ?
Vous possédez les airs, et la terre, et les eaux;
Sous la feuille tremblante un zéphyr vous éveille;
Vos couleurs charment l'œil, et vos accents l'oreille.

LORD ERSKINE.
