Note 74 — MISCELLANIES, IN VERSE AND PROSE. (continued 6)
Reading edition
This humorous sketch originally appeared (July, 1829) in Sharpe's London Magazine, a brief-lived monthly, which only reached its third number. The substance of it was afterwards incorporated into the novel of "Gilbert Gurney," where the name of Scropps was altered to Firkins. See the paper entitled "Lord Wenables Again" (p. 304).
