William Warburton (1698-1779), bishop and scholar, defender of Pope's Essay on Man, a controversialist who tackled Hume, the Deists, Voltaire and Wesley. We have been unable to trace this letter in the Oxford Bibliographical Society publication: Pope's Literary Legacy: The Book-Trade Correspondence of William Warburton and John Knapton with other letters and documents, 1744-1780, Edited by Donald W.Nichol [1992]. Voltaire's book, The History of the Russian Empire under Peter the Great, was published in its English translation in London by J.Nourse and P.Vallant in 1763. John Nourse (d.1780) was a London bookseller who specialized in French literature and scientific works. Warburton ordered many books from him. N° de réf. du vendeur 21671
