It is worth noting, that amongst the loose papers 

 in this ledger is a large pen-sketch after this 

 fashion : 



EPISTLES 



OF 



HORACE, 



IMITATED. 



Pope was so much accustomed to this imitation 

 of print, that I think it not improbable that he 

 sent this sketch to VVoodfall to show the sort of 

 title-page he desired ; and that it was preserved 

 at the time because it was Pope's autograph, and 

 for the last century by mere accident. I, however, 

 have not found one title-page that resembles it 

 amongst the few to which I have been able to refer. 

 Other of your correspondents may be more for- 

 tunate. 



I now return to the " Booksellers' Work :"

Woodfall appears to have printed for some of 

 Pope's known friends. The following are from 

 the Gentleman's Journal, although Mr. De Sil- 

 houette's bill appears to have been in part paid 

 for by Dunoyer, the bookseller :

Whether Mr. Lorleach, for whom the following 

 were printed, was a friend or enemy, I know not, 

 never having seen the Satirical Epistle. The 

 Muff IS still occasionally met with :

 lating to other works and other writers. P. T. P.
