      title = {The helter skelter way of writing or, a new method of  criticism. Very awkwardly imitating the Henlean Manner;  with several Words to the Wise, the Very Wise, and the  Wisest of All. Being a few unaccountable Reflections,  Chymically endeavouring to extract Something out of  Nothing: Together with the Conundrums of Timothy Wronghead,  Doctor Puzzlepate, and Will Blunderbuss, Coffee-House  Politicians, upon the unfortunate Title and Dramatis  Personae of Momus not happening to Chime with the Times. To  which is added, At the Beginning (according to the polite  Stile of Scribbling) Tom Thumb's touch upon the hard word  etymology: With some Scraps of its Nature for the better  understanding a fashionable Dialect of Words without  Meaning and Hieroglyphicks. The whole collected from the  Politician's Smoaking Journal, and adapted to the present  Epicurean Taste of the Town. By Tom Thumb, Secretary,  lately-arriv'd from the Cape of Good Hope, in the  Egg-Shell-Pacquet Boat. Supervis'd and corrected by Will  Blunderbuss of Addle-Inn, Esq; one of the Society.
