The advertisement contains an explanation that the public attributed the poems to a lady of quality, to John Gay and to "no other hand, than the judicious translator of Homer" [i.e. Alexander Pope]

Authorship of "The basset-table," "Roxana," and "The toilet" attributed severally to Alexander Pope, John Gay, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (cf. Ralph Straus. The unspeakable Curll) These three works were first published piratically by Edmund Curll in 1716 (misdated 1706 on title-page) as "Court poems" (cf. Cambridge history of English literature)

"In contents this edition varies from those of 1716 and 1719."--R.H. Griffith. Alexander Pope: a bibliography.

Corresponds to Griffith 175 or 176.
