Come, let me flap this bug!

POPE.

If "NATURE," as the Reviewer asserts, be a Term which the "Family of the
BOWLESES" have been Twо THOUSAND YEARS EXPLAINING; "the mole-eyed
'Family' of THE CRITICAL FUDGES" have been as long shutting their eyes to
that which is as clear as the SUN AT NOON-DAY!-Repty.

DEDICATION.

To the NOBLEMEN and GENTLEMEN who are in the habit of frequenting the Reading-Room of the Publisher of the Quarterly Review, in Albemarle-Street,

MY LORDS ANd gentlemen,

N the morning when the Quarterly Review comes out, the new volume, in shining covers, of the fairest whity-brown paper, is placed before you, on a large table covered with neat green baizę. The polished ivory cutter lies on the baize, ready to your hand: methinks I see you put on your spectacles, and prepare to partake the long-expected treat. I will say nothing of the complacent looks of Mr. MURRAY, who on this day appears more courteous than usual. You have taken your chairs; and having cut open some of the leaves, and reading as you go, you will come to an article entitled "SPENCE'S Anecdotes." You will there find many unfounded charges made, and much railing and raving uttered, against a late Editor of the Works of POPE.
