Ulʹtimus Romanoʹrum

.

So Horace Walpole was preposterously called. (1717–1797.) (See Last of the Romans.)

⁂ Carlyle so called Dr. Johnson, but he might, with greater propriety, be termed “the last of the Catos.” (1709–1784.)

Pope called Congreve “Ultimus Romanõrum.” (1670–1729.) (See Last of the Romans.)
