P. 212. last line. Defendit numerus, &c., Juvenal, Sat. II. 46.

P. 215, l. 20. occasionally, in passing.

P. 215, last line. Mr. Dodwell (1641-1711), Camden Professor of History at Oxford, 1688-91. (See also p. 304.)

P. 216, l. 12. Mr B.'s performance upon Æsop, see p. xxix. of Introduction.

P. 216, l. 19. διώκς, see p. 52 of Bentley's first Dissertation, and pp. 63-5 of Boyle's Examination. Bentley's slip was similar to that about προδίδωμι. (see note on p. 204, l. 10).

P. 216, l. 21. Babrius's Verses, see pp. 243-6 of Boyle's Examination.

P. 217, l. 1. Nevelettus . . . Camerarius, see pp. 247 and foll, of Boyle's Examination for the first, and p. 273 for the second of these charges.

P. 217, l. 3. Vizzanius, see pp. 54-60 of Boyle's Examination, pp. 383-9 of Bentley's second Dissertation, and pp. 9-11 of Warburton's Letters (referred to in note on p. 119).

P. 217, l. 4. grimace about Socrates, see pp. 279-82 of Boyle's Examination.

P. 217, l. 5. that Dr B. cannot be the author. One section of Boyle's Examination (pp. 184-201) was a burlesque upon Bentley's methods, in which it was shown, from considerations of style and matter, that the works attributed to him could not be genuine. This part of the Examination was said by Warburton to have been written by Dr King: and Bentley to judge by the reference to a tavern put it down to him (see note on p. 192, l. 2). But Smalridge is now generally credited with its authorship (see Jebb's Bentley, p. 60, and Monk's Bentley (1833), I. 105 (note)).
