Pope, Alexander, 1688-1744 -- Poetry
22. See Daniel A. Fineman, “The Case of the Lady ‘Killed’ by Alexander
Pope,” _MLO_, XII (1951), 137-149. Sutherland in his continuation of
Pope’s note confuses the two charges.
23. For the debate over the Latin inscription see _Twickenham_, VI.
395-396, and _The Gentleman’s Magazine_, XI, 105.
24. See Pope’s note to l. 319 of the _Epistle to Arbuthnot_.
25. Dennis, as far back as 1716, in _A True Character of Mr. Pope_, pp.
10-11, had used the metaphor. So had _An Epistle To the Egregious Mr.
Pope_ (1734), pp. 15-16.

[Transcriber’s Note:
The consecutive title pages are as in the original, as are the lines of
closely spaced asterisks in the poem.
Format of notes reproduces the original as closely as possible. Long
notes, marked with lower-case letters (a-l), were collected at the end
of the text. Footnotes are here shown between stanzas. Markers are
unchanged, except where a symbol has been doubled (**, ††) because it
occurs twice in one stanza.]

THE
PREFACE.
_The indecent Images, and the frequent and bad Imitations of the
Classics in the _Dunciad_, have occasioned several just Observations
upon so new and coarse a Manner of Writing: I shall wave this Topic at
present, and only regard the most plausible Insinuation in Favour of
this Author; which is, that he never begun an Attack upon any Person,
who had not before, either in Print or private Conversation, endeavour’d
something to his Disadvantage._
