Note 1 — Chapter III · A GROUP OF BOOK-LOVERS AND PUBLIC BENEFACTORS.
Reading edition
“Or must I, as a wit, with learned air
Like Doctor Dibdin, to Tom Payne’s repair,
Meet Cyril Jackson and mild Cracherode there?
‘Hold!’ cries Tom Payne, ‘that margin let me measure,
And rate the separate value of the treasure’
Eager they gaze. ‘Well, Sirs, the feat is done.
Cracherode’s Poetæ Principes have won!’”
Mathias, Pursuits of Literature.
