Small tear at edge of page 15. Text intact, complete and quite legible. Published anomously, but written by Eustace Budgell as a covert attack on the current Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, by presenting a historical but rather scandalous portrait of the former occupants of his office.

A cousin of James Addison, he contributed substantially to both the Tattler and the Spectator. 31 pp. First Edition. Dust Jacket: No Jacket Disbound Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
