Preface to the Fables. Malone's 'Prose Works of Dryden,' iii. 647. But Malone doubts whether the libel alluded to is the 'Satire upon Wit,' the 'Fables' having been issued from the press in 1699 -1700, early in the year, and the 'Satire upon Wit' bearing the same date. If not, it must have been in the preface to 'Prince Arthur,' where Dryden is alluded to in severe terms.
