Dryden and Tonson tale amid 18th century press intrigue
Fragment from a Philadelphia era miscellany recounts Dryden's financial hint to publisher Tonson over Virgil translation and a daughter’s penitential plea for forgiveness, as well as snippets on Richard II greyhounds law, Napoleonic thread trade, a note on the Sack Suit origin, and a Parrmer Want Ad with studio services.
