Pamela in 1842

[victor steinbok]

Sorry--feel like an idiot, wrong book. No, in Pamela, 1742, GB does
find "tree of liberty" on p. 197--yellow highlight and everything.

The index reference is for the OTHER volume that I mentioned, from 1737.

Like I said, more in a moment (just not as quickly as this one ;-)
