Gales, the great intellectual combat between Hayne and Webster, for example, would have passed into a vague tradition, perhaps. The original notes of Mr. Webster's speech, now in Mr. Gales's library, form a volume of several hundred pages, and, having been corrected and interlined by the statesman's own hand, present a treasure that might be envied. At the period just alluded to, Mr.
Then Ernest counted his own manuscript with equal care no easy task when one took into consideration the interlined or erased passages and, to his infinite disgust, discovered that it only extended to seven hundred and fifty words. 'Why, Edie, he said, in a very disappointed tone, 'how little it prints into! I should certainly have thought I'd written at least a whole column.
The answer thus scored and interlined could not be sent off, and it lay on the table with Bonaparte's signature affixed to it. Some time after he wrote another answer, the three first paragraphs of which were exactly alike that first quoted; but far the last paragraph he substituted the following
Sir William Napier's handwriting being almost illegible, Lady Napier made out his rough interlined manuscript, which he himself could scarcely read, and wrote out a full fair copy for the printer; and all this vast labour she undertook and accomplished, according to the testimony of her husband, without having for a moment neglected the care and education of a large family.
In another case there were the original autograph copies of several famous works, for example, that of Pope's Homer, written on the backs of letters, the direction and seals of which appear in the midst of "the Tale of Troy divine," which also is much scratched and interlined with Pope's corrections; a manuscript of one of Ben Jonson's masques; of the Sentimental Journey, written in much more careful and formal style than might be expected, the book pretending to be a harum-scarum; of Walter Scott's Kenilworth, bearing such an aspect of straightforward diligence that I shall hardly think of it again as a romance; in short, I may as well drop the whole matter here.
He sat down of his own accord to write a note to Winifred, beginning, 'Albinia was right, as she always is, and though his wife interlined, 'Albinia had no right to be right, for she was inconsiderate, as she always is, she looked so brilliantly pretty and bright, and was so full of sunny liveliness, that she occasioned one of the very few disputes between her good aunts.
He strolled among his flower-beds that evening. Walker Farr sat in his narrow chamber and pored over interlined manuscripts. At last he shook the papers above his head, not gaily, but with grim bitterness. "That plan will stand law, and no other lawyer ever thought of it!" he cried, aloud.
Thus when our discourse is interlined with needless oaths, curses, and long parentheses of imprecations, and with some of very indirect signification, they become very impertinent; and these being run to the extravagant degree instanced in before, become perfectly ridiculous and nonsense, and without forming it into an argument, it appears to be nonsense by the contradictoriness; and it appears impertinent by the insignificancy of the expression.
Throckmorton the owner. In the MS. in Dr. Johnson's handwriting, he has first entered in his diary, 'The old Clerk had great appearance of joy at seeing his Mistress, and foolishly said that he was now willing to die: he afterwards wrote in a separate column, on the same leaf, under the head of notes and omissions, 'He had a crown; and then he appears to have read over his diary at a future time, and interlined the paragraph with the words 'only' 'given him by my Mistress, which is written in ink of a different colour.
That Charter got wonderfully aired and invigorated on its ocean-passage. The salt water agreed with its constitution. In a single instance, at least, it falsified the old maxim, Coeium, nun animum, mutant, qui trans mare currunt. That was a marvellous piece of parchment. So far as Massachusetts was concerned, the Declaration of Independence was interlined upon it in sympathetic ink.
