P.17.14-22. See Jonathan Richardson, _Works_, Strawberry Hill Press (London, 1792), pp. 198-199: "...had the honour of a letter ... the term _Connoisance_ was used.... I must not conceal the name it was Mr. Prior." Richardson, a frequent visitor to Hampstead, painted both Prior and Pope. His essay on "The Connoisseur" was frequently published.

P.18.6-22. See also p. 24 and _passim_. Robert Walpole was born and died at Houghton in Norfolk; he was helped up by Marlborough but lost power with him under the Tories.
