[Footnote 16: In a note on the History, p. 192, Mr. Trollope makes the
following observation:

"From this book" (a book in which the boys were allowed to copy their
verses when considered good) "the verses referred to in the text were
inscribed."

They will be found in the Literary Remains, vol. i, p.33. Trollope
says,

"These verses are copied not as one of the best, but of the earliest
productions of the writer."]
