Very special gratitude is due to the Miss QUILLINANS of Loughrigg, Rydal, for the use of the MS.

of Miss FENWICK'S Notes--one half in their father's handwriting, and the other half (or thereabout) in that of Mrs.QUILLINAN ('DORA'), who at the end has written: 'To dearest Miss Fenwick are we obliged for these Notes, every word of which was taken down by her kind pen from my father's dictation.
The former portion was transcribed at Rydal by Mr.Quillinan, the latter by me, and finished at the Vicarage, Brigham, this twenty-fifth day of August 1843 .-- D.Q.' The MS., he it repeated, is now printed _in extenso_, nor will the least acceptable be 'DORA'S' own slight pencillings intercalated.

The Miss COOKSONS of Grasmere were good enough to present the Editor with a copy of the 'Two Letters to the Freeholders of Westmoreland', when he had almost despaired of recovering the pamphlet.

Thanks are due to several literary friends for aid in the Notes and Illustrations.
