'Anobius' states that 'Pindar Juvenal's' satiric poem was submitted to a schoolmaster, James Thomson, who declared the work libellous and advised that all copies be burned. This apparently was done, but Thomson retained his own copy. This copy, perhaps the only surviving one, later came into the hands of E. A. Petherick and hence into the national collection.
