CONTENTS

Mr. Lambkin having come into his property, enters the world upon the very best possible terms with himself, and makes his toilet to admiration.

Mr. Lambkin sallies forth in all the pride of power, with the secret and amiable intention of killing a certain Lady. Some envious rival makes known this deadly purpose, by means of a placard.

Mr. Lambkin with a snug Bachelor's party, enjoying his wine after a most luxurious whitebait dinner, at Blackwall, and talking about his high connexions.

Mr. Lambkin suddenly feels rather poorly, someting in the whitebait dinner, having disagreed with him; probably the water souchy, or that confounded melted butter, (could'nt possibly have been the wine.) His friends endeavor to relieve him with little Drops of Brandy, and large doses of Soda Water.

Mr. Lambkin, having cut those Bachelor Parties, determines to seek the refined pleasures of Ladies' society. He, with the lady of his affections, joins a Pic-nic, endeavors to be exceedingly amusing, and succeeds in making himself Very ridiculous.
