Notes The printing history of The Dunciad is complex, by Pope's design. This is likely the second printing of the first edition. No Dublin edition has yet been found, so it is believed that is a false imprint. James Bettenham as printer has been confirmed through outside research. For more, see David L. Vander Meulen, "The Printing of Pope's "Dunciad", 1728" Studies in Bibliography, Vol. 35 (1982), pp. 271-285.
