POPE'S ILIAD, the printed edition of 1720, 6 vols., 120, with autograph inscriptions by Gil[bert] White, Oriel College, Oxford, author of The Natural History of Selborne. The following memoranda occur on the fly-leaves: Vol. I. "Given to me by Mr. Alexander Pope on my taking the Degree of B.A. June 30th 1743" ; Vol. II. "Chess Score played March 26th 1746," with the names of E. Lifriss, G[ilbert] Mabbott, G[ilbert] White, and T[homas] Chapman; Vol. III. "Portrait of G. W. penned by T. C.," doubtless the Chapman mentioned above; Vol. V. Another pen-sketch, apparently of White, wearing an academic cap. According to T. Bell's memoir, in his edition of White's Selborne, 1877, vol. i, p. Iviii, White would never sit for his portrait, so that these sketches are unique. They were reproduced in The Field newspaper, 6 June, 1914, p. 1213. Paper : ff. 183, 134, 115, 139, 134, 127.
