3. Roberts
notes "a decided preference" among paternalists "for local
over central government, and within the concept of local
government a decided preference for private over public
authorities" (Roberts 40).
4. See
also Letters V, 114 [March 1818]; 286-287 [January
1819]; 451 [August 1819]; 486 [September 1819].
5. When
the narrator finds (in his dream) distressed weavers in the
West of Scotland supplied with work by a benevolent
aristocrat, his expectation that a grateful peasantry will
bless their benefactor is rudely dashed( II, 32).
6. Robert
Malcolmson quotes Southey's "pardonable exaggeration" in
Letters from England iii 102-103: "All persons
[...] speak of old ceremonies and old festivities as things
which are obsolete." Malcolmson adds that "most men of
property seem to have applauded their demise as a of
progress and national improvement" (89).
