*** A collection of scarce pamphlets on various subjects, including the licentious and personally allusive pamphlet by Alexander Pope, ‘Sober Advice from Horace’, based on Horace's notorious ‘Satire’ I, ii. The work was anonymous, but, as the title-page stated, the author had ‘Imitated’ the Horatian poem ‘in the Manner of Mr. Pope’. Boreman paid the large sum of 60 guineas for the copyright. By publishing anonymously, Pope could more easily deny having written this impudent satire.
