[p3] ADVERTISEMENT.

THE little Poem now presented to the Public, was intended for publication immediately after the appearance of the “Peacock at Home,” but from various causes, was laid aside till now. In the opinion of the Publisher, however, it is so nearly allied in point of merit to that celebrated Trifle, that he is induced, although at this late period, to print it with a few appropriate embellishments.

[p5] THE PEACOCK, &c.

1. The Song of “Pretty, pretty Poll,” in the Beggar’s Opera.

2. Vide “The Peacock at Home.”

3. The Hen Harrier—a bird of prey, of the Hawk tribe.

4. A Moss-cover’d Root-house, in the Plantation at Mendip Lodge—the charming seat of the Rev. Dr. Whalley.

5. Mrs. Dorset was the Authoress of “The Peacock at Home.”

H. Bryer, Printer, Bridge Street, Blackfriars, London.
