We need not here linger over the whimsical Trial of Tom D’Urfey and Tom Brown (who squabbled between themselves, by the bye), in a still later “Sessions of the Poets Holden at the foot of Parnassus Hill, July the 9th, 1696: London, printed for E. Whitlock, near Stationers’ Hall, 1696”:—a mirthful squib, which does not lay claim to be called poetry. Nor need we do more than mention “A Trip to _Parnassus_; or, the Judgment of _Apollo_ on Dramatic Authors and Performers. A Poem. London, 1788”—which deals with the two George Colmans, Macklin, Macnally, Lewis, &c. Coming to our own century, it is enough to particularize Leigh Hunt’s “Feast of the Poets;” printed in his “Reflector,” December, 1811, and afterwards much altered, generally with improvement (especially in the exclusion of the spiteful attack on Walter Scott). It begins—_“’Tother day as Apollo sat pitching his darts,” &c._ In 1837 Leigh Hunt wrote another such versical review, viz., “Blue-Stocking Revels; or, The Feast of the Violets.” This was on the numerous “poetesses,” but it cannot be deemed successful. Far superior to it is the clever and interesting “Fable for Critics,” since written by James Russell Lowell in America. Both as regards its own merit, and as being the parent of many others (none of which has surpassed, or even equalled it), Sir John Suckling’s “Sessions of Poets” must always remain famous. We have not space remaining at command to annotate it with the fulness it deserves. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. The type-ornaments in _Choyce Drollery_ reprint are merely substitutes for the ruder originals, and are not in _fac-simile_, as were the Initial Letters on pages 5 and 7 of our _Merry Drollery, Compleat_ reprint.

Verse fifth omitted from _Choyce Drollery_, runs:— “Her features all as fresh above, As is the grass that grows by _Dove_, And lythe as lass of _Kent_; Her skin as soft as _Lemster_ wool, As white as snow on _Peakish Hull_, Or Swan that swims in _Trent_.”
