Transcriber's Note: Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved. The quote starting with "The piety and order" on page 95 should perhaps start on the previous page with "My first recollection of him." On page 131, "vill a" is probably a typo. On page 263, "February 1661-2" is perhaps a typo for "February 1662." THE TOWNITS MEMORABLE CHARACTERS AND EVENTS By LEIGH HUNT WITH FORTY-FIVE ILLUSTRATIONS A NEW EDITION LONDON ADVERTISEMENT.

The present edition comprises the entire contents, unabridged, with the Illustrations. |
