The Love Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft to Gilbert Imlay
[7] She means, "the latter more than the former."--W. G.
[8] This is the first of a series of letters written during a separation
of many months, to which no cordial meeting ever succeeded. They were sent
from Paris, and bear the address of London.--W. G.
[9] The person to whom the letters are addressed [Imlay], was about this
time at Ramsgate, on his return, as he professed, to Paris, when he was
recalled, as it should seem, to London, by the further pressure of
business now accumulated upon him.--W. G.
[10] This probably alludes to some expression of [Imlay] the person to
whom the letters are addressed, in which he treated as common evils,
things upon which the letter-writer was disposed to bestow a different
appellation.--W. G.
[11] This passage refers to letters written under a purpose of suicide,
and not intended to be opened till after the catastrophe.--W. G.
