_Pope's Translations or Imitations of Horace_ (Vol. i., p. 230.; Vol. iv., p. 58.).--Is your correspondent C. correct in attributing _A true Character of Mr. Pope and his Writings, in a Letter to a Friend_, printed for Popping, 1716, to Oldmixon? In the Testimonies of Authors, prefixed to the _Dunciad_, and the Appendix, and throughout the Notes, Dennis is uniformly quoted and attacked as the author. Oldmixon's feud with Pope was hardly, I think, so early. Assuming your correspondent's quotation from the pamphlet to be correct, the terms made use of will surely refer to Pope's _Imitation of Horace_ (S. ii.

Boreman, under the title of _Sober Advice from Horace to the young Gentlemen about Town_, but in an enlarged state, and with some of the initials altered, and several new adaptations. Mrs. Oldfield and Lady Mary are not introduced in the first edition. I have both, but at present can only refer to the second one in folio. From this the _Imitation_ was transferred to the Supplement to Pope's Works, published by Cooper: London, 1757, 12mo., and from thence to the Supplementary Volumes to the later editions. The publication of it formed an article of impeachment against Dr. Jos. Warton, by the author of the _Pursuits of Literature_, as all who have read that satire will well remember. JAS.

The editor says it was communicated by a gentleman now upwards of eighty years of age, who was an active participator in the scenes of the revolution. The story is as follows:
