In these articles, Lauder ‘demonstrated,’ through parallel passages, that Milton had plagiarized large sections of Paradise Lost from various neo-Latin sources, notably Jakob Masen’s Sarcotis (included in Palaestra eloquentiae ligatae. Cologne, 1654), the shorter poems of Andrew Ramsay (1633), and the rare Adamus exul of Hugo Grotius (1601). Richard Richardson’s reply appeared as a ‘Letter’ in the July number of that journal, to which Lauder himself immediately replied; a ‘second Letter’, then still in preparation, ‘was intended to be inserted’ in a subsequent number, but became (with an expanded version of Richardson’s first letter) ‘a work too large for Mr. Urban’s monthly collection’, and ‘now appear[s] [...] in a pamphlet’, together with a new ‘Letter III’.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;">See Bib# 4103312/Fr# 601 in this collection for volume 17 of the ‘Gentleman’s Magazine.’ See also ESTC T146013.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991007281819707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
