Pope's Father-The conjecture (page 15) that Pope's half-sister, Magdalen Rackett, was the daughter of the poet's father by a previous marriage, has, since the greater part of this volume was printed off, been confirmed. Mr. Hotten, bookseller, Piccadilly, in the Adversaria attached to his Catalogue of May 30, 1857, published an extract from a London Directory of 1677, showing that in the list of merchants for that year was "Alexand. Pope, Broad-street." The Athenæum followed this up by a citation from the register of St. Bennet-Fink, in which part of Broad-street is situated: "1679, 12 Aug.-Buried, Magdalen, the wife of Allixander Pope." There can be no doubt that this Magdalen Pope was the wife of the poet's father, who had, previous to his removal to Lombard-street, resided in Broad-street during the period 1677-1679. The Athenaeum further publishes an extract from the unpublished correspondence of Pope with Mr. Caryll, in which the poet writes: "My sister Rackett was my own father's daughter by a former wife." Of Pope's affectionate veneration for his father a fresh illustration has recently been discovered. In the first volume of the copy of Bowles's Pope in the library at Mapledurham, the late Mr. Blount had inserted the following fragment of a note in the poet's handwriting, evidently addressed to Teresa or Martha Blount, or to both: "I should think that in losing my father, I have lost half my friends, if I did not think you so. The greatest comfort I can have will be in hearing from you and in seeing you. I am truly yours, A. P.” Coronation of George I., page 71.-The King arrived in England in September, 1714, but the ceremony of his coronation did not take place till the 20th of October; consequently Pope's Epistle must have been written subsequent to this date. Annuity to Teresa Blount, page 76.-The Editor's authority for this statement is the "Genealogy" of the Blounts, drawn up by the family chaplain, the Rev. Charles Lefebvre, and preserved in the original manuscript at Mapledurham. Mr. Lefebvre's words are "That Teresa, not Martha, was frequently the object of his (Pope's) rhymes, is proved from original letters now published; and that she was his first favourite and the principal object |
