Oliver Goldsmith

In this same year, in January 1781, the GM printed an "Epitaph in Jamaica. By Dr. Goldsmith. Not printed in his Works. On Zachary Bayly, Esq." (p. 39). The epitaph gives no further clue to Bayly's identity, nor is his death listed in Musgrave's Obituaries. The epitaph is not included or mentioned in Arthur Friedman's definitive edition of Goldsmith's works, and Bayly's name is not recorded in the indexes to biographies of Goldsmith.
