A view of the town: or, memoirs of London. In which is contained a diverting account of the humours, follies, vices, and what not? of that famous metropolis: Where every Offence meets with its due Correction; Knaves are Scourg'd, Fools Jirk'd, and the Ladies have a Stroke by the by. In fine, not to pall your Appetite, by a tedious Lift of Particulars, here is, in short, as much Sing-Song as in the Beggar's-Opera; and more New Whims than in the Orator's Advertisements.
