NB that Wicks has a collection of "Undeliver'd" sermons (511), as well as
his "Spiritual Day-Book" (275, 440, 481), his "Unpublished Sermons" (95),
and the work entitled "Christ and History" (349), but that they all seem to
contain exactly the same muddled mix of petulance, polemic and pompousness.

NB also the description of the invention of instant coffee (515). D----d
Jesuits!
