Epigrams (Vol. vii., p. 180.).—I beg to confirm the statement of Scrapiana as to the reading John instead of Thomas in the line
"'Twixt Footman John and Dr. Toe."
It may not be generally known that this epigram came from the pen of Reginald Heber, late Bishop of Calcutta, who was then a commoner of Brazenoze College, and who wrote that extremely clever satire called The Whippiad of which the same Dr. Toe (the Rev. Henry Halliwell, Dean and Tutor) was the hero. The Whippiad was printed for the first time a few years ago, in Blackwood's Magazine.
I fancy the other facetious epigram given by Scrapiana has no connexion with this, but was merely inserted on the same page as being "similis materiæ."

Portrait of Pope (Vol. vii., p. 294.).—Dr. Falconer's portrait of Pope could not have been painted by Joseph Wright of Derby, as that celebrated artist was only fourteen when Pope died; consequently, the anecdote told of the painter, and of his meeting the poet at dinner, must apply to the artist named by Dr. Falconer, and of course correctly, Edward Wright.
