NOTES AND CORRECTIONS.

of his affection, is evident from a deed of the 10th of March, 1717, by which he binds himself in an annuity of Forty Pounds, during the term of six years, to be paid to her yearly on the 25th of March, on condition that the said Teresa should not have married during the said six years, which condition she agreed to. There is a great probability that this agreement was with a view to a connubial settlement, but then Pope was living with his parents, whose old age and habits would probably have little agreed with the taste and inclination of a fashionable young lady."

Verses of and to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, page 148.-The Editor has ascertained that the "Verses written in the Chiosk at Pera," and the Verses addressed to Lady Mary ("In beauty or wit," &c.), first appeared in a Miscellany of Original Poems published in 1720 by Anthony Hammond. Hammond was a friend of Lady Mary, and he states that the poems in his Miscellany were then first published from their original manuscripts. This is in favour of the genuineness of the two poems, though a wrong date is affixed to the "Verses written in the Chiosk at Pera." In the Miscellany these verses are given as "by a Lady," but in the index they are said to be "by the Lady M. W. M." At page 274 of the work appear the "Verses to the Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, by Mr. Pope." The Editor still thinks that these verses have little or nothing of Pope's peculiar manner, but he is reminded of the poet's remark to Spence: "There is nothing more foolish than to pretend to be sure of knowing a great writer by his style."
