Lettering note
Lettering under the vignette: "This is not the Laughing, but the Hippocrene or Poetic Gas, Sir: the gentleman you see inspired here is throwing out the rough materials for an Heroic poem. We have various sorts, as the Terrific, much in request; the Simple, by which all the new songs are done, and many others."
