NOTES. i Fed with the fostering dew of praise.?Mason. a The name of
Ala is fictitious 3 Magnolia Grandiflora, commonly called greater
Magnolia, or Tulip-tree. This superb tree is indigenous to Florida
and South Carolina, where it rises to, the height of eighty feet or
more, with a straight trunk, upwards of two feet in diameter,
having a large regular head. Its leaves resemble those of the
common laurel, but are much larger, and of a shining green on their
upper side, and in some trees they are of a russet, or buff colour,
on their under side: these leaves continue all the year, so that
this is one of the most beautiful evergreens known. In its native
places of growth it begins to produce its pure white blossoms in
May, and continues a long time in flower, perfuming the woods with
its odour during the greater part of summer. It also grows in great
beauty in some of the southern climates of Europe, though not to
the height which it attains in America.?See Miller. 4 Part of this
description of sun-rise is imitated from a very eloquent passage in
the Emile of Rousseau. I do not venture to say translated, because
I am conscious how little I have done it justice in those lines
where the imitation is most close. 5 Alluding to the story told of
the wife of Edward the First, Eleanor of Castile, who is said, when
her husband was stabbed with a poisoned dagger in Palestine, to
have sucked out the poison from the wound, at the risk of her own
life, while he slept. In the Press, and speedily will be published,
