Notes

George Lyttelton was a friend and supporter to Alexander Pope in the 1730's. He was also friends with his cousin Gilbert West, with whom he went to Oxford in the 1740's, where they agreed to research two aspects of Christianity and their goal was to prove these wrong. However, both came to the conclusion that Christianity was a true religion and became Christians. George Lyttelton's first wife, Lucy Lyttelton née Aylmer died at childbirth, aged only 29. George Lyttelton wrote a poem for her, called "Monody". Perhaps Lyttelton's most known work was "Dialogues of the Dead", published in 1760, to which Elizabeth Montagu also contributed three anonymous dialogues.
