_Prior's Posthumous Works._--Among the curiosities collected by the Duchess
of Portland, was a volume containing some prose treatises in MS. of the
poet Prior. Forbes, in his _Life of Beattie_ (Vol. ii. p. 160.), speaking
of this interesting volume, says:--
"Her Grace was so good as to let me read them, and I read them with great
pleasure. One of them, a dialogue between Locke and Montaigne, is all
admirable piece of ridicule on the subject of Locke's philosophy."
Have these treatises since been printed? And where now is Prior's original
MS.?
