H. G. D.

_Satirical Prints; Pope_ (Vol. vi., p. 434.).--I have never seen this print

that your correspondent refers to. It will no doubt be found, however, to

be a plate illustrating a _scene_ in the following tract: "_A Letter from

Mr. Cibber to Mr. Pope, &c._: London, printed and sold by W. Lewis in

Russell Street, Covent Garden, 1742," see pp. 45, 46, 47, 48, 49., where is

given rather a warm description of the whole scene. Should this tract not

be had by GRIFFIN, he may turn to D'Israeli's _Quarrels of Authors_,

article "Pope and Cibber," note p. 193., col. 2., edit. 8vo., Moxon, 1840;

where D'Israeli adds:

"This story, by our comic writer, was accompanied by a print, that was

seen by more persons, probably, than read the _Dunciad_."
