"The brackets are not the author's, but my own.

"This is doubtless one of those exhibitions of learning which have
made such a deep impression on the reviewers. Certainly, as it

gleanings of many years' reading. It is important to observe,
however, that every one of these references, except those which I
have included in brackets, is given in the appendix to Cureton's
'Vindiciae Ignatianae,' where the passages are quoted in full. Thus
two-thirds of this elaborate note might have been compiled in ten
minutes. Our author has here and there transposed the order of the
quotations, and confused it by so doing, for it is chronological in
Cureton. But what purpose was served by thus importing into his
notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? And, if he thought
fit to do so, why was the key-reference to Cureton buried among the
rest, so that it stands in immediate connection with some additional
references on which it has no bearing?" [68:1]

I do not see any special virtue in the amount of time which might
suffice, under some circumstances, to compile a note, although it is
here advanced as an important point to observe, but I call attention to
