Anonymous, ca. 1770–1790.
Very good example of attributions of magazine sources.
117 items.
The first half is a very eclectic mix with many epitaphs, Latin doggerel, riddles, prose pieces, etc. interspersed with the poems. The second compiler seems primarily interested in jokes, parodies, quirky items. An apparent interest in Oxford-related items.
