Text and illustrations are engraved on one side of the paper only. Each engraved monarch has two or three lines of explanatory text above and beneath the engraving is a line taken from a ballad first published in Collins? Scripscrapologia, Birmingham, 1804, beginning ?The Romans, in England, they once did sway / And the Saxons, they after them, led the way? The ballad offers an amusing view of English history, giving a rhyming summary of each king or queen running through the book, such as ?Henry the Eighth who was fat as a pig? or ?Poor Edward the Fifth, was young killed in his bed/ By his uncle, Richard, who was knocked on the head? The engravings are lovely, too, with ?great attention paid to the correctness of the Costume and Design? As the book reaches the present, the final King is George III and (Regent Prince George) who escapes mockery, as he does not make a comment about George III?s madness, only remarking, ?Long life to the George that we have in his stead? Collins may be satirical about previous monarchs, but he is certain to be polite and respectful about the present monarchy, teaching his child readers respect and reverence alongside an understanding of their history. Additionally, as a teaching aid, Collins recommends the importance of verse and particularly of rhyme in aiding memory, as noted on the rear printed board: ?Parents and Teachers must have remarked the difficulty Children experience in recollecting the Succession of the English Monarchs, and likewise how much the memory is assisted by rhyme.?
