ARBUTHNOT, JOHN (1667-1735), British physician and author, was born at Arbuthnott, Kincardineshire, and baptized on the 29th of April 1667.

 Literary Encyclopedia: An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Although Pope calls the poem An Epistle, Dr Arbuthnot, the fictional addressee, is imagined not simply receiving a letter, but speaking, in lively and direct speech, much as might one of the dramatic interlocutors in Horace's Satires.
Arbuthnot becomes addressee and adversary, listener and conversant, rolled into one.
Though the voice of the poet in An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot comes as close as any in Pope's poetry to being authentically autobiographical, it is important to bear in mind that it is a construct in which Pope is idealistically and mythically recreating himself.
