To which are added, choice collections of moral sentences, and of the most pointed and truly valuable epigrams in the British tongue; with the names of the authors to such as are known. Most humbly inscribed to those choice-spirits of the age, Mr. Colley Cibber, Mr. Orator Henley, and Job Baker, the kettle drummer.
