distinction, every year resort. Her Royal Highness, the Duchesse de
Berri, may be numbered among these Visitors.]

[23] [The common people to this day call a _herring_, a _child of
Dieppe._ LICQUET.]

[24] ["Sterne reproaches the French for their hyperbolical language: the
air of the country had probably some influence on M. Dibdin when he
adopted this phrase." LICQUET.]

[25] ["Signifying, that the French postilions do not ride like the
English." LICQUET.]

[26] ["Dieppe for a long time was the rival of Argentan and Caen in the
lace-manufactory: at the present day, this branch of commerce is
almost annihilated there."--LICQUET.]

[27] [In a note attached to the previous edition--I have said, "Here also,
as well as at Rouen; they will have it that the ENGLISH built the
Churches." Upon which M. Licquet remarks thus: "M. Dibdin's expression
conveys too general an idea. It is true that _popular_ opinion
attributes the erection of our gothic edifices to the ENGLISH: but
there exists _another_ opinion, which is not deceptive upon this
subject." What is meant to be here conveyed? Either the popular
opinion is true or false; and it is a matter of perfect indifference
to the author whether it be one or the other. For Mons. Licquet's
comfort, I will freely avow that I believe it to be _false_.]
