Notes

[1]

"The Life of Dr. Oliver Goldsmith," p. 85, in The Miscellaneous Works of Oliver Goldsmith (1801), Vol. I.

[2]

Works, ed. Peter Cunningham (1854), IV, 148; Works, ed. J. W. M. Gibbs (1885-86), IV, 180; John P. Anderson, "Bibliography," p. x, appended to Austin Dobson's Life of Oliver Goldsmith (1888). Goldsmith's most distinguished nineteenth-century biographers, Prior, Forster, and Dobson, make only vague statements about the first publication of the Life.

[3]

Iolo A. Williams, Seven XVIIIth Century Bibliographies (1924), p. 149; Temple Scott, Oliver Goldsmith Bibliographically and Biographically Considered (1928), pp. 263-264; R. S. Crane in CBEL, II, 643; Ralph M. Wardle, Oliver Goldsmith (1957), pp. 212-213.

[4]

I say probably because of the ambiguity of the phrase "Where may be had" applied to the separate Life in the advertisement quoted from the Gazetter for 29 November. It is possible that the separate Life was published at the same time as, or even earlier than, the ninth edition of the Dissertation.

[1]

The Daily Advertiser announces its publication for "Tomorrow" on 7 December 1770 and as "This Day" on the 8th; the Public Advertiser similarly advertises its publication for and on the 8th; and Lloyd's Evening Post for 3-5 December announces it for "Next Saturday," the 8th. It is advertised as published "This Day" in the London Evening Pos for 29 November-1 December, but this notice seems to be an error caused by the paper's mistaking the Saturday on which the poem was to be published.
