_Grub Street Journal_ (Vol. vii., p. 383.).--MR. JAMES CROSSLEY, after

quoting Eustace Budgell's conjectures as to the writers of this paper,

leaves it as doubtful whether Pope was or was not one of them. The poet has

himself contradicted Budgell's insinuation when he retorted upon him in

those terrible lines (alluding to his alleged forgery of a will):

"Let Budgell charge low Grub Street to my quill,

And write whate'er he please--except my will!"
