The following Collection has frequently enlivened the brilliant Circles at St. James’s, Buckingham House, and Windsor.
The Birth of the Rose, the Geranium, the Pastime of Venus, the Devil’s Tail, the Kiss of Lydia, Life’s a Joke, and several other celebrated Poems are now added, which were formerly handed about only in Manuscript.
The FESTIVAL of WIT; selected by G—— K——, Summer Resident at Windsor; and carefully copied from the Common-place Book, with the Names of the Parties who introduced them to the R—— E——.
“This is, beyond all Comparison, the best Collection of good Things we ever read; it is not a delicate Morceau for the polite Circles only, it must suit the Taste of every Man, who loves cheerful Conversation and Attic Wit. Were we to bestow on it as much praise as it really merits, we should cover more paper than we can spare.”
