2. SUMMER TO DR. GARTH 276 3. AUTUMN TO MR. WYCHERLEY 285 4. WINTER, TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. TEMPEST 292 MESSIAH, A SACRED ECLOGUE 301 WINDSOR FOREST 319 CATALOGUE OF POPE'S COLLECTED EDITIONS OF HIS WORKS. The Works of Mr. ALEXANDER POPE. London: Printed by W. BOWYER for BERNARD LINTOT, between the Temple Gates, 1717. 4to and folio. This volume consists of all the acknowledged poems which Pope had hitherto published, with the addition of some new pieces. The Works of Mr. ALEXANDER POPE. Volume ii. London: Printed by J. WRIGHT, for LAWTON GILLIVER, at Homer's Head in Fleet Street, 1735. 4to and folio. The volume of 1735 contains, with a few exceptions, the poems which Pope had printed since 1717. The pages of each group of pieces--Epistles, Satires, Epitaphs, etc.--are numbered separately, and there are other irregularities in the numbers, arising from a change in the order of the Moral Essays after the sheets were struck off.

The Works of Mr. ALEXANDER POPE, in Prose. Vol. ii. London: Printed for J. and P. KNAPTON, C. BATHURST, and R. DODSLEY, 1741. 4to and folio. The half-title is more precise: "The Works of Mr. Alexander Pope, in Prose. Vol. ii. Containing the rest of his Letters, with the Memoirs of Scriblerus, never before printed; and other Tracts written either singly, or in conjunction with his friends. Now first collected together." The letters are the Swift correspondence, and they are in a different type from the rest of the book. The numbers of the pages are very irregular, and show that the contents and arrangement of the volume had been greatly altered from some previous impression. The folio copies of the two volumes of poetry, and the two of prose, are merely the quarto text portioned out into longer pages, without a single leaf being reprinted. The trifling variations from th
