To be had of the Printer. The Election Ball, in letters
from Mr. Inkle at Bath, to his wife at Gloucester; a
pleasant production of the much esteemed Mr. Anstey, author
of the Bath Guide, than whom, none has appeared equally
delectable in this class of writers, since the days of
Master Matthew Prior.
The Englishman's Fortnight at Paris, or the art of ruining
himself there in a few days, said to be written by a Mr.
Rutledge, who really there dissipated twelve thousand pounds
in that short space. A piece full of amusing incidents, and
displaying the knavery of many of the most notorious
characters of the age.
The Pupil of Pleasure, by Courtney Melmoth, in 2 vols. a
novel, replete with incident and terminating in most
pathetic catastrophe, it is much read, and has lately passed
through many editions.
