- Small-Pox. It is difficult for us to understand how terrible
were the ravages of this disease in English Society at this time.
Swift's Journal to Stella is full of references to its havoc. Inocula-
tion was introduced by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, after her
return from Turkey in 1718. See Pope's letter to Brome, July
16, 1721 (Elwin and Courthope, viii. 47).
PAGE 217. Good Nature will always, etc. Perhaps Goldsmith
was thinking of this paper when he wrote the little tale in
verse called The Double Transformation, 1765, the heroine of
which is reformed by an attack of small-pox :—

Addison's Papers on Milton are from this point of greater length. The type in 'A' is closer, and there are, of necessity, very few advertisements. A larger sheet is sometimes used.

PAGE 246. A Story very well known. The Master is the famous Dr.
Busby. The Gentleman whose life was preserv'd' has been
identified as Col. Wake, father of William Wake, then Bishop of
Lincoln; but the Rev. Rashleigh Duke, Rector of Birlingham,
Pershore, is of opinion that the hero of the rent curtain was Col.
Robert Duke of Wiltshire. "Col. Duke was engaged with Pen-

ruddocke and Grove and others in the rising in 1655, and was No. 313.
taken prisoner and tried with them at Exeter, and with them
was sentenced to death. The original MS. of that sentence exists
now, and it bears the name of Robert Duke following on those of
Penruddocke and Grove, and the warrant is signed by Cromwell;
but the name of R. Duke, which occurs twice in the body of the
warrant, is cancelled. His life was saved, and he was banished
to the E. Indies, where he died" (Communicated to the Editor,
29th Oct. 1897).

As she denied her little bed

To him, for whom Heaven seemed to frame,

And measure out, this only dame.
