These "Notes" aroused much protest and severe criticism when they appeared in 1891, and are considered so far beneath Mr. Kipling's real work that they have been nearly suppressed and are rarely found in a list of his writings.

He is not in Oates's list of conspirators. He does not occur in Foley's 'Records,' vol. v., a very painstaking work.
