עמוד xxvi - Whether Mr. Addifon did find it conformable to his tafte, or not, beft appears from his own teftimony the year following its publication, in thefe words : Mr.
עמוד 296 - ... would not find their account in employing them, or the men themfelves, when difcovered, want courage to proceed in fo unlawful an occupation. This it was that gave birth to The Dunciad, and he thought it an happinefs, that by the late flood of flander on himfelf, he had acquired fuch a peculiar right over their names, as was neceflary to this defign.
