Transcriber's note: This file was proofed, using a text-to-speech reader,
against the hard copy 2nd. edition published in 1819.
No attempt has been made to change the text of any of
the quoted verse to reflect later editors' amendments.
_Italics_ are indicated thus. The footnotes are
serially numbered from the first to the last Lecture,
unlike in the original.
