T1  - The helter skelter way of writingor, 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.
