Notes: To recommend himself to Frederick, prince of Wales, Bolingbroke entrusted to Alexander Pope his unpublished manuscript of 'The patriot king' dated December 1738, an essay previously written upon the 'Spirit of patriotism' and afterwards addressed to Lord Lyttelton, and a paper on 'The state of parties at the acesssion of George I.' Pope's secret publication of 1500 copies of 'The patriot king' led Bolingbroke to anonymously publish a "correct edition" in 1749 edited by David Mallet. cf. Dictionary of national biography.
