POPIANA.

(Vol. ix., p. 445.)

In MR. HARRY LEROY TEMPLE'S _Popiana_, allusion is made to Pope's

_Imitation of Horace_, Second Satire, Book I., and the question is asked,

In what modern editions of Pope is this Imitation to be found? It is in

Warton's edition, and also in the Aldine edition published by Pickering. It

appeared to me (as to Bowles, Roscoe, Mr. Cary, and others) too glaringly

indecent for a popular edition of Pope. The poet never acknowledged it; he

published it as "Imitated in the manner of Mr. Pope," but it is a genuine

production. See note in my edition of Pope, vol. iv. p. 300.
