"M.D.XXII." was inserted instead of M.D.XII.; but the royal privilege for
the book is dated, "le douziesme iour de mars lan _milcinqcens et onze_,"
and the dedication of the works by Badius to Guil. Parvus ends with "Ad.
XII Kalendas Decemb. Anni huius M.D.XII."

(17.) Who was the author of _Peniteas cito_? And is it not evident that the
impression at Cologne by Martinus de Werdena, in 1511, is considerably
later than that which is adorned on the title-page with a different
woodcut, and which exhibits the following words proceeding from the
teacher: "Accipies tanti doctoris dogmata sancta?"

DRYDEN'S "ESSAY UPON SATIRE."

On what evidence does the statement rest, that the Earl of Mulgrave was the
author of the _Essay upon Satire_, and that Dryden merely corrected and
polished it? As at present advised, I have considerable doubt upon the
point: and although, in modern editions of Dryden's _Works_, I find it
headed _An Essay upon Satire, written by Mr. Dryden and the Earl of
Mulgrave_, yet in the _State Poems_, vol. i. p. 179., originally printed in
the lifetime of Dryden, it is attributed solely to him--"_An Essay upon
Satyr._ By J. Dryden, Esq." This gets rid of the assertion in the note of
"D.," in the Aldine edition of Dryden (i. 105.), that "the Earl of
Mulgrave's name has been _always_ joined with Dryden's, as concerned in the
composition." Was it not first published without notice that any other
person was concerned in it but Dryden?
