The collection was first published in 1788, and The Monthly Review noticed it in one sentence: "A bouquet of flowers and weeds promiscuously gathered from the lower and middle regions of Parnassus." The Critical Review gives the reader just the facts: "This collection consists of odes, epigrams, and other little pieces of poetry, which have appeared in the newspapers or magazines, within the course of the last twenty years. The gentlemen, and ladies, to whom they are attributed, are, or have been, the principal wits, poets, and poetasters of the age."
