The book referred to by Sir Walter is The Carbonaro: a Piedmontese Tale, by the Duke de Lévis. 2 vols. London, 1829. No. 152 May, 1829.

These biographies, intended for The Family Library, were never written. Romeo and Juliet, Act v. Sc. 1.
Master, scarcely less than Hilyard, of the popular kind of eloquence, which short, plain, generous, and simple cuts its way at once through the feelings to the policy, Warwick briefly but forcibly recapitulated to the commons the promises he had made to the captains; and as soon as they heard of taxes removed, the coinage reformed, the corn thrave abolished, the Woodvilles dismissed, and the earl recalled to power, the rebellion was at an end.
Leonard's, near York, had received, from an ancient grant of King Athelstane, a right of levying a thrave of corn upon every ploughland in the county.
