Author name and dates: Wentworth Dillon, 4th Earl of Roscommon (1637–1685)

BKG Bio-tweet: Poet; educated: France, Rome during Civil Wars; gambler; Essay defined poetic diction; first critic to praise Paradise Lost

Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: About 135 Roscommon cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 1, about 175 cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 2.  About 20% of the quotes in the Roscommon cites examined under letters "A", "B", and "C" were from Waller, Duke or Dryden, contained in the same volume, and misattributed to Roscommon (see below).  About 5% of the quotes in the Roscommon cites examined under letters "U/V" and "W" were from Waller or Duke, contained in the same volume, and misattributed to Roscommon (see below).  Four cites, indicated in bold italic below were identified as added in the 1773 Dict.  One of the identified misattributed cites (unfold) was corrected in the 1773 Dict.]
Poems by the Earl of Roscomon. To which is added, An essay on poetry, by the Earl of Mulgrave, now Duke of Buckingham. Together with Poems by Mr. Richard Duke. 1717, London: printed for J. Tonson, at Shakespear's Head over-against Katharine-Street in the Strand.  [BKG Working Note: this 1717 title appears to be the most likely for the source of the 1755 Dict quotes as it appears to contain the Roscommon works in one volume, and also contains material by Richard Duke and Waller, which either SJ mis-marks as Roscommon or his transcribers misunderstand as Roscommon's]  OR The works of the most celebrated minor poets. Namely, Wentworth, Earl of Roscommon; Charles, Earl of Dorset; Charles, Earl of Halifax; Sir Samuel Garth; George Stepney, Esq; William Walsh, Esq; Thomas Tickell, Esq. Never before collected and publish'd together. In two volumes. 1749 MDCCXLIX. [London : Printed for F. Cogan....] per Reddick, in The making of Johnson's Dictionary (204), the copy marked by SJ was in the Hyde Collection, presumably now at Harvard.  J.D. Fleeman, in The Sale Catalogue of Samuel Johnson's Library, A Facsimile Edition, 1975, U. of Victoria, indicates (App. II-13) that this copy may be only V.1, and only annotated by SJ for Garth, and not the other poets. [BKG Note: Volume 1 of this title contains only Roscommon, Dorset, Halifax, and Garth.  The reason that only Garth is marked in this volume (per Fleeman) may be that SJ had already marked Roscommon, Dorset, and Halifax quotes in another title.]  OR  The works of the most celebrated minor poets. Namely, Wentworth Earl of Roscommon, Charles Earl of Dorset, Charles Earl of Hallifax, Sydney Earl of Godolphin, John Lord Somers, Dr. Sprat Bp. of Rochester, Sir Samuel Garth, George Stepney, Esq; William Walsh, Esq; Thomas Tickle [sic], Esq; and Ambrose Phillips, Esq; To which are added, pieces omitted in the works of Sir John Suckling, Mr. Otway.

Draper in the Strand, OR The works of the right honourable Wentworth Dillon, Earl of Roscommon. 1753 Glasgow: Printed by Robert and Andrew Foulis.  Not all of the cited Roscommon poems are contained in the following title, from which SJ may have taken material for the later Lives of the Poets (see Yale Vol. 19, p.255): The works of the Earls of Rochester, Roscommon, and Dorset; the Dukes of Devonshire, Buckinghamshire, &c. with memoirs of their lives. in two volumes. Adorned with cuts, 1731 (earlier edition, 1718), London (no publisher listed).]
