Notes


 1. No transcription is provided for images of print.
 2. According to Pitcher (1998: 80), articles entitled ‘A Rambler's Cursory Thoughts’ are dated ‘September and November 1776’ and signed ‘J.H. Northampton’. Hamilton's copy lacks the place-name. However, Pitcher makes no mention of the Whitehall Evening-Post, and the piece has not been found in the Westminster Magazine vol. 4 (1776), nor vol.1 (1773), vol. 6 (1778), vol. 7 (1779), vol. 8 (1780). The piece is reprinted in Thoughts in Prose and Verse, started in his Walks, By John Hope (Stockton, 1780), pp.40-45.

All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. Words split across two lines may have a hyphen on the first, the second or both fragments (reco-|ver, imperfect|-ly, satisfacti-|-on); or a double hyphen (pur=|port, dan|=ger, qua=|=litys); or none (respect|ing). Any point in abbreviations with superscripted letter(s) is placed last, regardless of relative left-right orientation in the original. Thus, Mrs. or Mrs may occur, but M.rs or Mr.s do not.
