[519a] Dr. Pratt, Provost of Trinity College.
[519b] Obliterated, and doubtful.
[519c] A deal at cards, that draws the whole tricks.
[520] Previous editors have misread “Trevor” as “Treasurer.” Thomas Trevor, Chief-Justice of the Common Pleas, was created Baron Trevor, of Bromham, in January 1712. By commission of March 9, 1713, he occupied the woolsack during the illness of the Lord Keeper, Harcourt.
[521a] This is the only reference to Pope in the Journal. In his Windsor Forest the young poet assisted the Tories by his reference to the peace of Utrecht, then awaiting ratification.
[521b] Several words have been obliterated. Forster reads, “Rove Pdfr, poo Pdfr, Nite MD MD MD,” but this is more than the space would contain.
[522a] William Oldisworth (1680–1734), a Tory journalist and pamphleteer, who published various works, including a translation of the Iliad. He died in a debtors’ prison.
[522b] Some words obliterated. The reading is Forster’s, and seems to be correct.
