MINOR QUERIES

_Pope's Translations of Horace._--In a pamphlet against Pope,

entitled, _A True Character of Mr. Pope and his Writings_, by

the author of _The Critical History of England_, written in

May, 1716, and printed in that year, Pope is reproached with having

just published a "libellous," "impudent," and "execrable"

_Imitation of Horace_. Twenty years later such a reproach would

be very intelligible; but can any one favour me with a reference to

any _Imitation of Horace_, published by Pope prior to 1716, of

which any such complaint could be made?
