Footnotes
1 Henry Milton’s appointment was to the Office of the Secretary of War, before 1854 also the Colonial Minister. The other official of the Milton name, born 1820, was Henry Milton’s son, and consequently Anthony Trollope’s first cousin. He entered the same department in 1840 as his father had done before him. On the organisation of the War Office in 1856 he became Assistant Accountant-General; afterwards, having meanwhile been told off on much special service, he became in 1871 Accountant-General. The successive stages of a most brilliant career were crowned by his knighthood and retirement in 1878-9. His literary judgment and scholarship were of the greatest value to his cousin Anthony, and caused his services as “reader” to be in much demand with the second John Murray.
2 Sir Henry Taylor survived Anthony Trollope by four years, dying in 1886. Forster died in 1876. Both told the present writer of their unavailing invitations of Anthony Trollope while a Post Office clerk to their house.
3 Visiting Paris soon after the coup d’état of 1851, his hostess at Gore House during his London exile found herself coldly received by her guest of other days. “Do you,” he carelessly asked, “make any long stay in Paris, Madame?” “And you, Monseigneur?” was the happy rejoinder.
4 The Macdermots, p. 301.
5 Here, as elsewhere, the reference is to Mr. John Lane’s series of Trollope reprints.
6 The Macdermots of Ballycloran, p. 11.
7 The Macdermots of Ballycloran, pp. 174, 175.
8 The usual “e” in the last syllable of this historic name is always omitted by Trollope, and so not written here.
9 A Midsummer Night’s Dream, v. 1.
10 Jeremiah vi. 16.
11 The Warden, pp. 72-83.
12 Adventures of a Younger Son. Published 1830. This was republished as recently as 1890, while shortly before his death (1881) Trelawny put forth the revised version of his Byron and Shelley Reminiscences.
13 On this subject I am indebted to the present P. & O. chairman, Sir Thomas Sutherland, for an expression of opinion to this effect. The negotiation, indeed, was before his time, and he knows nothing about any record of it in the Company’s archives; but, he adds, “supposing the question to have been one of accelerating the transit of the mails through Egypt, the Company must surely have favoured an improvement which could, in no way that I could see, have been adverse to their interest.”
14 Castle Richmond, p. 5, line 12.
15 This was natural enough. Prinsep himself had been a sort of political Ulysses, having contested unsuccessfully several constituencies, till he secured his return for Harwich, only, upon petition, to be unseated.
16 To see at his best Dickens on Thackeray, one should turn to Messrs. Chatto and Windus’s Speeches of Charles Dickens, and under the date March 29, 1858, read the just and generous eulogy bestowed by the author of David Copperfield on him who wrote Vanity Fair.
17 Trollope’s Thackeray (English Men of Letters Series), p. 49.
18 See Masters of English Journalism (T. Fisher Unwin), p. 244, &c. The account here referred to was that given the writer by the founder and first editor of the The Pall Mall, F. Greenwood.
19 “Our years keep taking toll as they roll on” (Conington’s translation, Horace’s Epistles, Bk. II., ii. 5).
20 Reprinted by Chapman and Hall (1865-6).
21 Messrs. Bradbury and Evans were the well-known printers with whom Dickens had so much to do.
22 Conington’s rendering for the grata protervitas of Horace, Ode i, 19, 7, more compactly, and perhaps not less faithfully translatable by “sweet sauciness.”
23 Tennyson, Lady Clara Vere de Vere.
24 Such, and not the usually quoted “tu l’as voulu,” are Molière’s actual words.
25 Thackeray (Macmillan, pp. 48, 49).
26 The fact thus referred to by Trollope was this. At the time of his own failure for Beverley the author of Eothen was coming in for Bridgewater, but was promptly unseated on petition, the borough itself being, like Beverley, disfranchised a little later.
27 Some of these names were celebrated in verses that Trollope loved to quote:
“Mr. Leech made a speech;
Learned, terse, and strong.
Mr. Hart on the other part,
Was glib and neat, but wrong.
Mr. Parker made that darker,
Which was dark enough without.
Mr. Cook cited a book,
The Chancellor said, ‘I doubt.’”
28 Such cases of a state official’s temporary return to a department which he had finally left are quite exceptional. The best known, perhaps, is that of Sir Robert Herbert, who was permanent Under Secretary at the Colonial Office from 1873-1892, was succeeded in that capacity by Hon. R. Meade, but, on Meade’s death, returned for a time to his old room at the Colonial Office till Mr. Meade’s place was permanently filled. In the same year Mr. A. W. Moore retired from the India Office in or about 1880, and reappeared in it after an interval of five years as private secretary to the Indian Minister, Lord Randolph Churchill.

30 Trollope’s colonial novels, Harry Heathcote of Gangoil and John Caldigate, were both written after his Australasian journey.
31 The Merchant of Venice, Act v, Scene 1.
32 That great word-painter, it should be said, had also visited South Africa some eight years earlier, had written and lectured concerning it, and by so doing, it may well be, at first set Trollope on going to Africa too.
