Notes
It must be understood that these are not previously unknown verses but rather unrecorded printings, by Miss Knapp, of known verses. I give vol. no., year, pages of WM followed by item nos. in Knapp: 3 (1775), 327 (#112, #447); 4 (1776), 157 (#392), 215 (#405), 327 (#364); 5 (1777), 103 (#41), 218 (#329), 328 (#287), 329 (#396), 496 (#404), 665 (#215), 666 (#385), 667 (#386); 6 (1778), 106 (#272), 278 (#216), 331 (#456), 439 (#406), 440 (#283), 673 (#313, #314); 7 (1779), 162 (#199), 431 (#458, #210, #146, #47).
Gerald M. Berkowitz, David Garrick, a Reference Guide (1980), begins his bibliography with items from 1741, doubtless unaware of the pieces in 1740. There are other lacunae in this Reference Guide.
For Rust, see The Letters of David Garrick, ed. David M. Little and George M. Kahrl, 3 vols. continuously paged (1963), p. 1269, and for Sir Thomas Mills (below), see Little and Kahrl, p. 828.
See John W. Derry, Charles James Fox (1972), p. 208, for the Whig toast at Fox's successful 1784 campaign: "Buff and Blue and Mrs. Crewe." The poem to Mrs. Crewe was reprinted in the Nov. 1783 WM (pp. 581-582).
See Derry, Charles James Fox, pp. 50-51. Derry does not mention any of the three poems under discussion.
See Some Materials Towards Memoirs of the Reign of King George II, by Lord John Hervey, ed. Romney Sedgwick (1931), III. 829-830.
The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift, ed. Sir Harold Williams (1963-65), I. 338, 349; II. 66 and Alumni Dublinenses . . . (1924), pp. 15 and 795-796. However, George P. Mayhew has suggested Dr. Francis Andrews, Provost of Trinity College (PQ, 1974, 213-221). See Pat Rogers, ed. Jonathan Swift, The Complete Poems (1983), pp. 863-865 for a full discussion of the various versions of the poem. Rogers tentatively ascribes The Friends to Richard Griffith, but gives no evidence for his identification.
None of the three letters discussed is listed in the Johnson bibliography edited by James L. Clifford and Donald J. Greene (1970).
John Nichols in the Gentleman's Magazine for February 1807 (pp. 80-82) and James Bindley in the European Magazine for the same date (pp. 83-86).
