London Magazine (July 1822-August 1825); three from The English-
man's Magazine; one from Moxon's Reflector and The Athenaeum; one
from Hone's Table-Book; and the Popular Fallacies and two essays
which had been ptd under the same heading, from The New Monthly
Magazine. As to later edns of the Last Essays of Elia, see note to Elia,
