Characters and Observations is an anonymous 18th-century manuscript that was discovered and published in 1930. The American edition was published by Frederick A. Stokes Company. According to the foreword by Lord Gorrell, the handwritten manuscript was discovered in a piece of furniture by one John Murray in 1919, and ten years later shown to the editors of The Daily Mail, who suggested having it published. It was almost certainly owned by Alexander Pope, and is possibly his work. The title page of the manuscript had "A Pope. Twikeam." written on it. * v * t * e

  • Characters and Observations is an anonymous 18th-century manuscript that was discovered and published in 1930. The American edition was published by Frederick A. Stokes Company. According to the foreword by Lord Gorrell, the handwritten manuscript was discovered in a piece of furniture by one John Murray in 1919, and ten years later shown to the editors of The Daily Mail, who suggested having it published. It was almost certainly owned by Alexander Pope, and is possibly his work. The title page of the manuscript had "A Pope. Twikeam." written on it.
