To the FIRST EDITION with Notes,
in Quarto, 1729.

T will be fufficient to fay of this edition, that the reader has here a much more correct and complete copy of the DUNCIAD, than has hitherto appear'd. I cannot answer but fome mistakes may have flipt into it, but a vast number of others will be prevented by the names being now not only fet at length, but juftified by the authorities and reasons given. I make no doubt, the author's own motive to use real rather than feign'd names, was his care to preserve the innocent from any falfe application; whereas in the former editions, which had no more than the initial letters, he was made, by keys printed here, to hurt the inoffenfive; and (what was worse) to abuse his friends, by an impreffion at Dublin.

The commentary which attends this poem was fent me from feveral hands, and confequently muft be unequally written; yet will have one advantage over most commentaries, that it is not made upon conjectures, or at a remote distance of time: And the reader cannot but derive one pleasure from the very Obfcurity of the perfons it treats of, that it partakes of the nature of a Secret, which moft people love to be let into, tho' the men or the things be ever fo inconfiderable or trivial.

Of the Perfons it was judg'd proper to give fome account: For fince it is only in this monument that they must expect to furvive (and here furvive they will, as long as the English tongue fhall remain fuch as it was in the reigns of Queen ANNE and king GEORGE,) it feem'd but humanity to beftow a word or two upon each, just to tell what he was, what he writ, when he liv'd, and when he died.

If a word or two more are added upon the chief offenders, 'tis only as a paper pinn'd upon the breaft, to mark the enormities for which they fuffer'd; left the correction only should be remember'd, and the crime forgotten.
