but one Line in him which has been objected against, by the

speaking of the Trojans, how they survived the Ruins of their
Ĉity, expresses her self in the following Words;

Num capti potuere capi, num incensa cremarunt Pergama?

Were the Trojans taken even after they were Captives, or did Troy
burn even when it was in Flames?"

PAGE 153. French Authors. Dryden has the credit of an early ap-
preciation of French criticism. The "illiterate writers" followed
and compiled their critical essays from Rapin, Le Bossu, Bouhours,
Boileau, Perrault, Fontenelle, and the Daciers. Much of this
borrowed critical wisdom was unacknowledged by Grub Street-
and by the more respectable Spectator.

-Guessed at for Emilia. Steele pokes fun at the commentators (cf. vol. i. 310-1, etc.). The more popular 'guesses' are "the mother of Mr. Ascham, of Conington, in Cambridgeshire, and grandmother of Lady Hatton," and "Anne, Countess of Coventry." The authorship of the sketch has been claimed for Hughes (Letters, iii. 8), and also for Dr. Brome, the clergyman of the parish in which the aforesaid Mrs. Ascham lived. The Bromius of this paper rather suggests the latter. If that be so, there may be some basis of fact' in Mrs. Ockley's ascription to Mrs. Ascham. PAGE 198. Motto. Horace, Ars Poet. 363-4. PAGE 201. Paid to that Idol. Addison subsequently interpolated

here lines 446-457 of Book I. of Paradise Lost, with a note on the
same by “the late ingenious Mr. Maundrell," taken from his
Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem. It will be found in the text of
the Notes upon the Twelve Books of Paradise Lost, published

Small-Pox. It is difficult for us to understand how terrible were the ravages of this disease in English Society at this time. Swift's Journal to Stella is full of references to its havoc. Inoculation was introduced by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, after her return from Turkey in 1718. See Pope's letter to Brome, July 16, 1721 (Elwin and Courthope, viii. 47).

Pershore, is of opinion that the hero of the rent curtain was Col.
Robert Duke of Wiltshire. "Col. Duke was engaged with Pen-
ruddocke and Grove and others in the rising in 1655, and was
taken prisoner and tried with them at Exeter, and with them

was sentenced to death. The original MS. of that sentence exists No. 313.
now, and it bears the name of Robert Duke following on those of
Penruddocke and Grove, and the warrant is signed by Cromwell;
but the name of R. Duke, which occurs twice in the body of the
warrant, is cancelled. His life was saved, and he was banished
to the E. Indies, where he died" (Communicated to the Editor,
