Fl. The lady didn't set even with tLo
r..! for his III treatment Of her during
fs,.r lives. she certainly has achieved "a

Horrible 10 a man who works tor Il great
IMITATION. to imagine that his name
u--lll be covered with ridicule after
a.atl. If Bulwer foresaw what has
come 10 pass, the publication Of his
aJsurb letters. it vas enough to make

Then, again" he writes, take
ninety million [kissesl; and SO zoo thinks
o. convict me OF equivocation by saying
me confines to dream, tho not sleep !.
To be sure, 90 does not call dreaming
