NOTES.
TRANSLATIONS OF JUVENAL--WORDSWORTH.
Mr. Markland's ascertainment (Vol. i., p. 481.) of the origin of
Johnson's "From China to Peru," where, however, I sincerely believe our
great moralist intended not so much to borrow the phrase as to profit by
its temporary notoriety and popularity, reminds me of a conversation,
many years since, with the late William Wordsworth, at which I happened
to be present, and which now derives an additional interest from the
circumstance of his recent decease.
Some mention had been made of the opening lines of the tenth satire of
Juvenal:
"Omnibus in terris, quae sunt a Gadibus usque
Auroram, et Gangem pauci dignoscere possunt
Vera bona, atque illis multum diversa, remota
Erroris nebula.
