"_She ne'er with treacherous Kiss_" (Vol. ii., p. 136.).--C.A.H. will find the lines,-- "She ne'er with trait'rous kiss," &c. in a poem named "Woman," 2nd ed. p. 34., by Eaton Stannard Barrett, Esq., published in 1818, by Henry Colburn, Conduit street. E.D.B. _California_ (Vol. ii, p. 132.).--Your correspondent E.N.W. will find earlier anticipations of "the golden harvest now gathering in California," in vol. iii. of _Hakluyt's Voyages_, p. 440-442, where an account is given of Sir F. Drake's taking possession of Nova Albion. "There is no part of earth here to bee taken up, wherein there is not speciall likelihood of gold or silver." In Callendar's _Voyages_, vol. i. p. 303., and other collections containing Sir F. Drake's voyage to Magellanica, there is the same notice. The earth of the country seemed to promise very rich veins of gold and silver, there being hardly any digging without throwing up some of the ores of them. T.J. |
