Ed。   1826。   〃I   think   this   word   got   into   the   text   from   either   the   author   or 
printer;    who     was    perhaps     the   editor;   doubting     whether     to   use 
'SOLEMNIZE'   or   'CELEBRATE;'   and   it   slipt   from  the   margin;   where  it 
was probably placed; into the verse itself。〃 J。 M。 in GENT。 MAG。 for Jan。
