Martin Scriblerus [pseud.] : Memoirs of Martin Scriblerus
Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 22 November - 2 December 1793: 'Your plan of a general satire I am ready to partake when you please. Pope Swift & Atterbury you know once attempted it but malevolence intruded into the design & Martinus Scriblerus bore too strong a resemblance to Dr Woodward. Swifts part is more levelld at follies than at vice. establish the empire of Justice & folly & vice will be annihilated together. draw out your plan & send it me — if you have resolution for so arduous a task.'
