Miss Scrope appears to have retained, for a considerable
time, a deep sense of her injuries; for in 1749 she published a

1747, to the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for that month and year, and to
the same work, vol. xix. pp. 192. 288.

commentating upon Pope, his writings and literary history, there are
no doubt many able and zealous illustrators of them among lovers of
literature for its own sake: and many a curious note upon the Bard

architecture in this country than Mr.
