Excerpt from Milton and Vondel: A Curiosity of Literature His triumph was, however, of short duration. The barefaced forgeries were ere long detected by the acute ness of Mr. Bowle, a tutor of Oriel College, Oxford; and a. Clergyman, Mr. (afterwards Bishop) Douglas, under the form of a letter addressed to the Earl of Bath, revealed to the public the gross imposition which had been practised upon them. Lauder's shameless attempt to cast a slur upon Milton's fame by false representa tion recoiled upon himself and ignominiously collapsed. His fabrications were exposed, himself discredited, and, as a natural result, a certain amount of obloquy and disparagement has since attached to that Inquiry into the Origin of Paradise Lost with which his too noto rions name is associated.
