AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED.
Could ai\y reader tell me from whence are
drawn the two following :
1. a privilege to kill,
A strong temptation to do bravely ill.
2. The blackest ink of fate was sure my lot, And when fate writ my name it made a blot.
The first occurs in Fielding's ' Jonathan Wild ' (iv. 15), and the second in his ' Amelia ' {ii. 9). J. P. DE C.
MRS. ANNE BUTTON.
(12 S. ii. 147, 197, 215, 275, 338.)
THE bibliography of R. H. supplies a list of the thirty-eight volumes mentioned upon Mrs. Dutton's monument. I venture to think that I can extend the list. Nothing would justify me in adding to the ample information already furnished, save that Mrs. Dutton's pamphlets are now very scarce, and obtain prices much above any she could have ever anticipated.
I have retained the numeration of R. H., and affix an asterisk to denote the works once in the James Knight Collection. I am informed that some of these have been lost since they were bequeathed to the Baptist Church at Southport. The dagger indicates a reference in Mrs. Dutton's auto- biography.
