—The poet Gray, writing to his friend Mr. West, asks him to guess where the following description of a dimple is found:
"Sigilla in mento inpressa Amoris digitulo
Vestigio demonstrant mollitudinem."
Lett. viii. sect. iii. vol. i. p. 261. Mason's edition. London, 1807.
Mr. West replies in the following letter:
"Your fragment is Aulus Gellius; and both it and your Greek delicious."
I have never met with it in Aulus Gellius, and should be glad to find it.
