After my most humble thanks for the continuation of Westminster Elections you was so kind as to give me, I must acquit myself of my promise; and therefore I herewith send your Lordship a copy transcrib'd exactly from the MS. given me by Dr. South himself of his verses upon Westminster School, with his name, and the year subscribed at bottom. They were indeed publish'd among his _Opera Posthuma Latina Anon._ 1717, by Curl, after his impudent way of dealing with dead authors' works; and sometimes also with those of the living. Curl's printed copy differs from the MS. in these following places: _Curl._ _MS._ Vers. 5. Multum. Latè 16. Et. dum. 21. ubi regnat. quòd regnet. 23. æmula. æmula, but over it ardua. 25. dirigit. digerit. 26. nitent. micant. 29. studiosæ. studiosa. 30. illa. ipsa. 33. lumen. Lucem. Your Lordship by this may see how much this sawcy fellow has abused this learned man's fine copy of verses; and how justly he deserved the correction which was inflicted on him at that school. By the tenth Distich it appears that the School (containing then _Tercentum juvenes_) was managed by three Masters onely: and, for aught we know, might flourish pretty well, though it had not twice that number. Give me leave, my Lord, to subscribe myself with profound respect, Your Honor's most oblig'd, most obedient, and most humble Serv^t. M. MAITTAIRE. "IN INCLYTAM SCHOLAM REGIAM WESTMONASTERIENSEM.
