Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: five "Digby to Pope" cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 1, one "Digby to Pope" cite in 1755 Dict. vol. 2 (all but one incorrect, see below). No R. Digby cites identified as added in the 1773 Dict.]
The works of Alexander Pope, Esq; Vol. VI. Containing the second part of his letters, 1739, London: printed for T. Cooper, in Pater-Noster-Row. [BKG Note: the first "official" edition of the letters was 1737, but does not have Trumbull Ltr. VIII (caveat quote). SJ may have quoted from the 1739 or a later edition. Only irascible appears to be from a Digby letter, the other citations are mis-transcribed Pope quotes. The page half-titles, combined with the lack of name identification of the letters from Pope may have caused transcriber confusion.]
