Her pleasure in it, and the childish airs she gave herself in regard to it, touched and amused Sorell, with whom through the Greek lessons she had become a great favourite. As they parted at the doorway leading to the Bodleian, she said with a mischievous look "Did you know Mr. Falloden's party is off?"
This plan was printed with an Italian translation, which is supposed to be Baretti's, on the opposite page; and a copy of the pamphlet, presented by Johnson to the Bodleian, is deposited in that library.
"Maynard, hang'd himself" is Lamb's entry. He was chief clerk in the Old Annuities and Three Per Cents, 1788-1793. London Magazine, October, 1820, where it is dated at the end, "August 5, 1820. From my rooms facing the Bodleian."

Harley insisted on the surrender of Dunkirk!
The books, however, remained abroad, and were confiscated on Digby's death as being the chattels of an alien resident; but either by favour or purchase they soon became the property of the Earl of Bristol, and were afterwards sold by auction in London. Two volumes were purchased for the Bodleian in 1825 which must be regarded with the deepest interest.
Macray in his 'Annals of the Bodleian Library'; it refers to her walks in the field of Scripture, where she plucked up the 'goodlie greene herbes, which she afterwards ate by her reading, 'and chawed by musing.
