Professor Lounsbury has apparently confused this work with _A Cursory View of the History of Lilliput For these last forty three Years_, 8vo,1727, a political satire containing no allusion to Pope. See _The Text of Shakespeare_, 287. [5] _Memoirs of the Court of Lilliput_, 16. [6] _The Dunciad_. 1728. Book II, lines 137-48, and 170; Book III, lines 149-53.

Some copies apparently read "peer" for "poet." See Elwin and Courthope's _Pope_, IV, 330, note pp.; and Sir Sidney Lee, article _Haywood_ in the D.N.B.

Lounsbury, _The Text of Shakespeare_, 281. "'The Popiad' which appeared in July, and 'The Female Dunciad' which followed the month after ... were essentially miscellanies devoted to attacks upon the poet, and for them authors were not so much responsible as publishers." [14] Elwin and Courthope's _Pope_, IV, 141, note 5. [15] Notes and Queries, Ser. I, X, 110. The words italicized by me refer to Pope's description of Theobald's library, _The Dunciad_, (1728), Book I, line 106. [16] T. R. Lounsbury, _The Text of Shakespeare_, 275. "But the attack upon Mrs. Haywood exceeded all bounds of decency. To the credit of the English race nothing so dastardly and vulgar can be found elsewhere in English literature. If the influence of 'The Dunciad' was so all-powerful as to ruin the prospects of any one it satirized, it ought certainly to have crushed her beyond hope of any revival. As a matter of fact Mrs. Haywood's most successful and popular writings were produced after the publication of that poem, and that too at a period when Pope's predominance was far higher than it was at the time the satire itself appeared."

Written by the Author of Memoirs of the said Island_ [Utopia] and described on the half-title as by E. H. and _The Fair Captive_, a tragedy not originally written by her. [19] _Philobillon Soc. Misc._, IV, 12. "Clio must be allowed to be a most complete poetess, if she really wrote those poems that bear her name; but it has of late been so abused and scandalized, that I am informed she has lately changed it for that of Myra." Quoted from the _British Journal_, 24 September, 1726. I am indebted to Miss Dorothy Brewster's _Aaron Hill_, 189, for this reference. [20] See Clara Reeve, _The Progress of Romance_ (1785), I, 121.
