- Comments:
- QUERY: ECCO copy has been enlarged with the addition of Tunbrigalia from later in the eighteenth century (mostly 1750s to 1780s). ESTC indicates that there are 26 pp in miscellany. Numbered pages 3-26 are present, but these follow and are some cases interspersed with extra material, which I have not entered. Contents therefore need to be double-checked against a physical copy. CONTENTS: Prose parody pp.17-19. MISCELLANY GENRE: Collection of poetry and prose associated with Tunbridge Wells.
