_Quarles' Pension_ (Vol. ii., p. 171.).--There should have been added to
the reference there given, viz. "Vol. i., p. 201." (at which place there
is no question as to Quarles' _pension_), another to Vol. i., p. 245.,
where that question is raised. I think this worth noting, as "Quarles"
does not appear in the Index, and the imperfect reference might lead
inquirers astray. It seems very curious that the inquiry as to the
precise meaning of Pope's couplet has as yet received no explanation.
