Popes ^^ Essay on Man." — I have a 12mo. 

 edition of Pope's Essay on Man, published by 

 J. and P. Knapton, 1748, which contains a curious 

 frontispiece, said in the Preface to have been de- 

 signed and drawn by Mr. Pope himself. I wish 

 to know where I can find corroborative testimony 

 that Pope really did design and draw the frontis- 

 piece. T. W.

Mr. Murray's Edition of Pope (Vol. x., p. 217.)- 

 — You express a hope, and a very natural one, 

 that the " forthcoming edition" will be the better 

 for the discussions in " N. & Q. ;" but I want to 

 know when the public will be the better for that 

 edition ? So long since as the Museum inquiry, 

 Mk. Ckoker slated that he was engaged on it ; 

 since then, it has been over and over again an- 

 nounced ; and it was understood at the beginning 

 of this year, that the first volume was actually 

 printed, and to be issued forthwith as one of The 

 British Classics. Yet here we are in Septembcjr, 

 and no sign of publication. M. E. P. 



The Dodcls (Vol. x., p. 217.). — Since I wrote 

 to you, I have stumbled on a copy of Atterbury's 

 Speech: "Printed and sold by James Dodd, in 

 Princes Street, by Drury Lane ; and A. Rocayrol, 

 in St. Martin's Lane." Atterbury's Speech was 

 printed by half a dozen persons ; but this copy, by 

 James Dodd, is the shabbiest I have seen — bat- 

 tered type and brown paper. Gent's lady may 

 have been the widow of this James Dodd. P. T. P. 



Inscription by Mr. Pope on a punch-bowl, 

 bought in the South-Sea year for a club, chased 

 with Jupiter placing Callisto in the skies, and 

 Europa and the Bull : 



« Come fill the South- Sea goblet full : 

 The Gods shall of our stock take care ; 

 Europa pleas'd accepts her Bull, 

 And Jove with ioj' puts off his Bear."

ORIGINAL DEEDS. 



Five original deeds were recently laid before 

 me, and, with the permission of the owner, I have 

 made the following short description of their

 teresting to the <lescendants or representatives of 

 the several families therein named. These deeds 



were accompanied by a confession of faith, appa- 

 rently written in the time of James I., and endorsed 

 » For Mr. Ingleby."
