Notes.

WILLIAM BLAKE.

My antiquarian tendencies bring me acquainted with many neglected and obscure individuals connected with our earlier English literature, who, after "fretting their hour" upon life's stage, have passed away; leaving their names entombed upon the title page of some unappreciated or crotchetty book, only to be found upon the shelves of the curious.
