Uncontrolled note

Sherburn 1736c - this copy has been rebound 1948 - but may have misreported to Griffith, whose entry refers only to the first 66p. - the volume is dated by Griffith 1736, with vol. the fifth of Curl's 'Mr. Pope's literary correspondence' referred to as a reissue - this way round seems more likely
