Mr.. Leslie Stephen writes strongly,
but not too strongly, when he says IN
reference to the correspondence of Pope.
1T is painful TO track the strange de-
ceptions of a man of genius as a detect
i've unravels the misdeeds of an accom-
plished swindler. 4" Pope was a confirm
ed liar, and he lied very hard indeed
about the publication of his letters
Having by means OF a trick secured
their publication by "A notorious pirat-
ical bookseller, he at once declared that
the letters were forgeries- Yet while he
was calling out for their suppression he
was really anxious for their sale The
details of all his trickery and lying need
not be gone into here
Pope, full of vanity and longing to
publish his correspondence, had pur-
posely employed a notorious bookseller
to issue an edition in order that he
might then be able to say that the YER
sion was a piratical one, and that in
self defense he must publish the genu-
inc text. The odd thing is that. though
the whole affair was exposed at the
time. it does not seem to have done
Pope any harm. DR.. johnson, indeed,
SAYS that 1t did him good, and that the
nation was full of praise for the admira-
BILE qualities of candor. benevolence and
fidelity which the letters revealed. Here
is some comfort for any living literary
genius who has not yet published hi
