A selection of the licentious poems of writer and diplomatist Sir Charles Hanbury-Williams (1708-1759), which is actuality not much more than a somewhat enlarged reprint of A collection of poems, principally consisting of the most celebrated pieces of Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, knight of the Bath (London, 1763).

Editorship has been attributed to antiquary Joseph Ritson (1752-1803), whose labours, according to his biographer Joseph Hazlewood, did not extend beyond collating the proof sheets - not doubt at least in part due to his distaste for facetious poetry.
