PREFATORY NOTE

THE text used has been that of Warburton in the nine-volume edition of 1766; this contains Pope's 'last corrections, additions, and improvements', and was 'printed from a copy corrected throughout by the Author himself... which, with several additional notes in his own hand, he delivered to the Editor a little before his death'.

Pope's own notes have been reprinted verbatim, and are distinguished by his name.

G. H.

OXFORD: September, 1908.
