In fact this work contains 34 pieces, all but a couple of them in verse: many of the poems have a 'sportive' quality, but there are political satires as well, some directed against Robert Walpole (the 'Great Man'). One poem ridicules the appearance at court of the poetaster Stephen Duck, the first English working-class poet to achieve wide popularity; this piece had been separately printed in 1730 as a four-page quarto (Foxon D466; item 16 on the title-page), but only one copy is recorded of that printing (at the Bodleian).
