Note 30 — SPECIMEN OF THE TRANSLATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE. (continued 2)
Reading edition
This passage affords Tom Brown grounds for a flat sneer at our author. See Vol. X. p. 267. The “Advices to a Painter,” to which Dryden alludes, were a series to satires upon Charles II. and his court, published under the name of Denham, but, which in reality, were written by Andrew Marvell. They are printed in the State Poems.
