_Epigrams_ (Vol. vii., pp. 175. 270.).--"Suum cuique" being a
principle which holds good with regard to literary property as well as
to property of every other description, I can inform your correspondent
BALLIOLENSIS that the epigram on Dr. Toe, which he says was "represented
to have proceeded from the pen of Thomas Dunbar, of Brasenose," was in
reality the production of my respected neighbour, the Rev. William
Bradford, M.A., rector of Storrington, Sussex. It was written by that
gentleman when he was an undergraduate of St. John's College, Oxford.
BALLIOLENSIS may rely upon the accuracy of this information, as I had it
from Mr. Bradford's own lips only yesterday. The correct version of the
epigram is that given by SCRAPIANA, p. 270.
