DOBSON, HENRY AUSTIN.--A Postscript to Dr. Goldsmith's Retaliation, being an epitaph on Samuel Johnson, LL.D. [Oxford, Clarendon Press] Printed in June, 1896. _4to, half red morocco._
Half-title and three pages of text, at the beginning of which is the following note:
"[After the Fourth Edition of Doctor Goldsmith's Retaliation was printed, the Publisher received a supplementary Epitaph on the Wit and Punster Caleb Whitefoord. Though it is found appended to the later issues of the Poem, it has been suspected that Whitefoord wrote it himself. It may be that the following, which has recently come to light, is another of his forgeries.]"
Mr. Dobson writes in a letter: "I wrote the 'Postscript' in 1896, to be read at the Johnson dinner at Pembroke College, Oxford. Johnson had not been treated in Goldsmith's _Retaliation_, and I thought I might add a 'Postscript' like the one which is now appended to that poem, on Caleb Whitefoord, which many think Whitefoord wrote himself. I printed it in 4to to read, and the Clarendon Press reprinted it in 4to to sell. In 1897 it was reproduced in an annual called _The Pageant_. Then it took its place in my _Poems_."
