Note D — CRITICAL STRICTURES, &c.
Reading edition
(P. 21) "Though in general this Tragedy is colder than the most extreme Parts of Nova Zembla ..." This is perhaps the only passage in Critical Strictures that can be attributed with certainty to one of the three authors. The remark is Dempster's, and had been made some time before Elvira was presented; in fact, he had applied it originally to Johnson's Irene. See LJ, pp. 69, 306.
