inventory, (a whimsical yet moral piece) or, An answer to a kind friend's enquiring letter
Wrote after the manner (some few triplets excepted) of hudibrastick verse. The raptur'd lover. On first seeing Cl̆ia. To Cl̆ia at her toilet. Advice to Cl̆ia when at church. A humourous epitaph on one William Hall, a blacksmith. A serious ditto, on a most beautiful female infant. A hymn, in imitation of the canticle omnia opera domini benedicitte. The wish. On voluntary charity. On content. On rural simplicity. The youth's invitation to glory; or, The call of honour! adapted to the present warlike crisis. A hymn of thanksgiving to the deity, on the unexpected recovery of a dear friend from a late most dangerous illness. With a short prefatory epistle, relative to theatrical amusement; or, the real meaning, and (when properly conducted) grand use of the stage consider'd: in which also the much us'd (and often much abus'd) team gentleman, is duly weigh'd, and simply analiz'd. With a motto to each from Horace, &c. Not literally, but figuratively translated by the author, who (desirous of generous and candid readers) most humbly dedicates them to the ladies, gentlemen, and other worthy inhabitants of the counties of Norfolx, Suffolk, and Essex; whose lenity he has experienced, and whose indulgence in this point too he hopes to obtain; and the favour will be ever most gratefully acknowledged
