[16] These figures are taken from H.W.V. Temperley, "Chapter II, The Age of Walpole and the Pelhams," _The Cambridge Modern History_, ed. A. W. Ward, G. W. Prothero, and Stanley Leathes (Cambridge, 1909), VI, 66. [17] Coxe, I, 617. [18] Coxe, I, 618 _n_. [19] I have been unable to do any more to settle the authorship and have had to be content here with presenting the evidence. [20] D. E. Baker, I. Reed, and S. Jones, _Biographia Dramatica_, 3 vols. (London, 1812), I, ii, 512-515. [21] Robert Watt, _Bibliotheca Britannica_, 4 vols. (Edinburgh, 1824), II, 670. [22] Most of the details in this brief biography, including these quotations, are taken from "The Life of the Revd. Mr. James Millar," _The Lives of the Poets of Great-Britain and Ireland_, By Mr. Theophilus Cibber, and other hands (London, 1753), V, 332-334. [23] One of these, _The Man of Taste_, 1735, has sometimes been mistakenly confused with a pamphlet written three years earlier, _Mr. Taste, The Poetical Fop_, which viciously attacked Pope. See James T. Hillhouse, "The Man of Taste," _MLN_, XLIII (1928), 174-176. There is no evidence that Miller ever attacked Pope and, indeed, his political and literary sympathies put him strongly on Pope's side. [24] Cibber, p. 333. [25] Maynard Mack, _The Garden and the City_ (Toronto, 1969), p. 190. Mack is the first critic to pay any attention to these pamphlets and this reprint is largely offered to supplement his illuminating and suggestive book. [26] A. Pope, _The First Satire of the Second Book of Horace Imitated_ (London, 1733), l. 121. It is perhaps interesting to note that according to J. V. Guerinot, _Pamphlet Attacks on Alexander Pope 1711-1744_ (London, 1969), p. xlviii, "No other line more infuriated the dunces, it was for them Pope's ultimate hypocrisy." [27] Walpole visited Pope sometime in the summer of 1725. See Pope's letter to Fortescue, 23 September 1725. _The Correspondence of Alexander Pope_, ed. G. Sherburn (Oxford, 1956), II, 323. [28] For a full account of the ways in which Pope's actual retired life in his Twickenham villa, garden, and grotto became, in the 1730's, emblematic of the ideal of cultivated virtue, see Maynard Mack, _The Garden and the City_, especially Chapter VI. According to Mack, Pope becomes "spiritual patron of the poetical opposition to Walpole" (p. 190). [29] James Boswell, _Life of Johnson_, ed. R. W. Chapman (Oxford, 1953), p. 91. [30] This assumption is based on Johnson's comment in his life of Pope that "the whole process was probably intended rather to intimidate Pope than to punish Whitehead." S. Johnson, _Lives of the English Poets_, ed. G. Birkbeck Hill (Oxford, 1905), III, 181. [31] _The Gentleman's Magazine_, IX, 104.
