• Notes

  d. unmarried Boswell met with her at Springkell, where he stayed from October 7 to October 13, 1762. He described her as an honest-hearted, merry, jocular girl, of size somewhat corpulent but has a very agreeable countenance and can walk and dance with all imaginable cleverness. She plays with taste upon the guitar, which she chiefly employs in accompanying her voice with a thorough-bas.. Indeed her singing is so excellent that I should wish to reward her with due praise in this my journal, but that I own is difficult to do.
