Note 144 — JANET CLINKER’S ORATION.

In the 1824 edition all that comes between the words ‘cannot help’ and ‘until they disdain now to ride upon pads,’ as in the text above, is omitted. The reading in that edition is:—‘The last prevailing evil that I see, all men may hear, but none strive to help; women now disdain to ride on pads, as of old,’ etc.
