writing the 'Lives of the Poets,' and that Milton's was one, or part of one, which had been at the back of a miniature of the poet belonging to Addison. Addison, you know, personally knew and took an interest in the welfare of Milton's youngest surviving daughter, Deborah. I do not find any mention of him among the possessors of portraits of Milton, and it does not seem likely that the miniature and the lock would become divorced. Yet I think you will agree with me that there is strong presumptive evidence in these three descents of the belief on the part of true and honourable men, one of whom asks me to bequeath the lock back to him in case I died first; nor do I myself feel the least doubt of the lock, short of positive certainty."

The long letter to which this is a postscript appeared in The Athenæum for the 7th of July 1883.

GENERAL INDEX.

[As the writings of Keats have not, as far as I am aware, been
indexed before, I have aimed at making the present as nearly as
possible a complete subject index, not only of all his poems and
letters, but also of the numerous biographic and illustrative docu-
ments given in the appendices. The Roman figures show the
volume, the Arabic figures the page; but, in the few references to
the preliminary matter paged in Roman figures, both volume and
page are shown by Roman figures, the higher number being, how-
ever, always that of the page. A separate index of first lines will
be found in Volume I.-H. B. F.]
