1 There is some reason to believe that the following persons who published sonnets may have begun writing before 1800: Peter Bayley, Thomas Brown, George Dyer, Mrs. B. Finch, Thomas Gent, William Crowe, Nathaniel Humfray, Thomas Noble, Mary Sewell, Viscount Strangford (translations), Theophilus Swift, Charles Hoyle. The anonymous anthology, Sonnels of the Eighteenth Century (1809), I have not seen. 2 In 1714 an anonymous 42-line poem called To Aristus, in Imitation of a Sonnet of Milton, appeared in Steele's Poetical Miscellanies, 116–19.
