'Advertisement' by 'The Editor' claims that the miscellany meets taste for poetry 'in the North-British Dialect', and that several of the poems have previously appeared 'in the Works of one of the most eminent Northern Bards' (Ramsay). Omits the last 2 poems in the 1740(?) edition (including a poem critical of the Act of Union). The prose 'Adventures of a Farthing', present in 1st ed., is also omitted.
