In Fuller’s words
“The name of Roma is Indian. It is true, that at the first glance the greek word ρώμη which is also a word almost isolated, a root word presents itself, but, as to the language to which this word originally belongs there can remain no doubt, if we consider how the family from the root romo, from which comes remote, roti, ramo is diffused through the indian language”

Fragmentary Reading Notes and Autobiographical Reflections
p8“Friedrich wrote his Lectures on the history of Philosophy”
Inferred Fuller references 'Friedrich wrote his Lectures on the history of Philosophy and shortly before his death, his Concordia' — these are two distinct works; see also R23. Friedrich Schlegel gave lectures on philosophy and literary history; the most likely work is his Geschichte der alten und neuen Literatur (Vienna, 1815; translated as Lectures on the History of Literature, 1818) or his Philosophie der Geschichte (1829).
“shortly before his death, his Concordia, wherein he proceeds upon the idea of the unity of church and state… Nevertheless there is great talent in his Concordia”
Inferred Fuller explicitly names 'his Concordia' as a late work by Friedrich Schlegel dealing with unity of church and state. Concordia was a journal Schlegel founded in 1820 in which he expounded conservative Catholic views on political order. The passage with commentary on Schlegel's talent appears to come from notes Fuller took from a secondary source
