The office of this _Pedington_[4] may be known from the following advertisement in _The Weekly Miscellany_, N° 37. _August_ 25, 1733. "This day is published, Price Six-pence, (on occasion of the Re-commitment of the two _Alexanders_; with a very neat effigies of _Sarah Malcolm_ and her _Reverend Confessor_, both taken from the Life) The Friendly Apparition: Being an account of the most surprising appearance of _Sarah Malcolm's_ Ghost to a great assembly of her acquaintance at a noted Gin-shop; together with the remarkable speech she then made to the whole company." [1] A copy of it in wood was inserted in _The Gentleman's Magazine_, 1733, p. 153. [2] This print was designed as a frontispiece to the pamphlet advertised in _The Weekly Miscellany_. (See text, above.) [3] The Ordinary of _Newgate_. [4] Mr. _Pedington_ died September 18, 1734. He is supposed to have made some amorous overtures to _Sarah_. 6. The Man of TASTE. The Gate of _Burlington-house. Pope_ white-washing it, and bespattering the Duke of _Chandos's_ coach. "_A satire on_ Pope's _Epistle on Taste. No name._" It has been already observed that the plate was suppressed; and if this be true, the suppression may be accounted for from the following inscription, lately met with at the back of one of the copies. "Bot this book of Mr. _Wayte_, at _The Fountain Tavern_, in _The Strand_, in the presence of Mr. _Draper_, who told me he had it of the Printer, Mr. _W. Rayner._[1] "J. Cosins." On this attested memorandum a prosecution seems meant to have been founded. _Cosins_ was an attorney, and _Pope_ was desirous on all occasions to make the law the engine of his revenge. [1] _Rayner_ was at that time already under prosecution for publishing a pamphlet called, "_Robin's_ Game, or Seven's the Main." Neglecting to surrender himself, he was taken by a writ of execution from the crown, and confined to the _King's Bench_; where he became connected with Lady _Dinely_, whole character was of equal infamy with his own. 7. The same, in a smaller size; prefixed to a pamphlet, intituled, "A Miscellany of Taste, by Mr. _Pope_," &c. containing his Epistles, with Notes and other poems. In the former of these Mr. _Pope_ has a tie-wig on, in the latter a cap. 8. The same, in a size still smaller; very coarsely engraved. Only one of them is noted by Mr. _Walpole_.
