This copy combines the changes of both and has cancel leaf Y3 with turnover, cancels Hh8 and Mm3 in position and Ss with 6 leaves only.Pope, then only twenty years old, contributed Pastorals (which has its own divisional title page) and some other poems to this final volume of Tonson's or Dryden's Miscellanies (1684-1709) as they are called.
