+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+_A Learned Dissertation on Dumpling_ and its _Key_ (_Pudding and
+Dumpling Burnt to Pot_) are typical satiric pamphlets which grew out of
+the political in-fighting of the first half of the eighteenth century.
+The pamphlets are distinguished by the fact that the author's level of
+imagination and writing makes them delightful reading even today. In
+_Dumpling_ the author displays a considerable knowledge of cooks and
+cookery in London; by insinuating that to love dumpling is to love
+corruption, he effectively and amusingly achieves satiric indirection
+against a number of political and social targets, including Walpole. The
+_Key_ is in many ways a separate pamphlet in which Swift is the central
+figure under attack after his two secret visits to Walpole during 1726.
+_Dumpling_ had a long life for an eighteenth-century pamphlet and was
+published as late as 1770. Dr. F. T. Wood has even suggested that it may
+have influenced Lamb's _Dissertation on Roast Pig_;[1] readers might
+wish to test this for themselves.
+
+_Dumpling_ and its _Key_ were first claimed for Henry Carey by Dr. Wood
+(pp. 442-447). Carey (1687-1743) is generally thought to have been an
+illegitimate scion of the powerful Savile family,[2] with whose name he
+christened three of his sons. He was perhaps best known as a writer of
+songs. "Sally in our Alley" is a classic, and he has even a tenuous
+claim to the authorship of the English national anthem. Carey's
+_Dramatic Works_ appeared in 1743, the year in which he met his death,
+almost certainly by his own hand. Several of the plays were successful
+and particular reference should be made to the burlesques
+_Chrononhotonthologos_ (1734) and _The Dragon of Wantley_ (1737). The
+latter even outran the performances of _The Beggar's Opera_ in its first
+year. Not only do these plays show Carey's satiric bent, but so also do
+a considerable number of his poems. In 1713, 1720, and 1729 Carey
+published three different collections of his poetry, each entitled
+_Poems on Several Occasions_. Although a few of the poems were repeated,
+almost always revised, each edition is very much a different collection.
+An edition was brought out in this century by Dr. Wood.[3]
+
+I am strongly inclined to support Carey's claim to the authorship of
+_Dumpling_ and its _Key_ despite Dr. E. L. Oldfield's more recent
+attempt to invalidate it.[4] There were at least ten editions of
+_Dumpling_ in the eighteenth century. The first seven (1726-27) appeared
+during Carey's life, and these (I have seen all but the third) contain
+the _Namby Pamby_ verses which later appeared under Carey's own name in
+his enlarged _Poems on Several Occasions_ (1729). There was also a
+"sixth edition" of _Dumpling_ (really the eighth extant edition) in
+Carey's own name published "for T. Read, in Dogwell-Court, White-Friars,
+Fleet-Street, MDCCXLIV." Though _Namby Pamby_ was not added to the first
+edition of the _Key_, it appears in the second edition. Both editions
+were published by Mrs. Dodd, of whom Dr. Oldfield says: she "seems to
+have been a neighbour, and known to Carey" (p. 375). Dr. Wood indicates
+that "at the foot of a folio sheet containing Carey's song _Mocking is
+Catching_, published in 1726, the sixth edition of _A Learned
+Dissertation on Dumpling_ is advertised as having been lately published"
+(p. 442). Dr. Wood adds in a footnote that this song "appeared in _The
+Musical Century_ (1740) under the title _A Sorrowful Lamentation for the
+Loss of a Man and No Man_." Even more striking would seem to be the fact
+that although there are ninety-one entries in his _Poems_ (1729), Carey
+has placed the _Sorrowful Lamentation_ directly adjacent to _Namby
+Pamby_.
+
+Dr. Wood maintains of _Dumpling_ that "the general style bears a close
+resemblance to that of the prefaces to Carey's plays and collections
+of poetry" (p. 443). I should like strongly to support his statement.
+Dr. Oldfield says that an inviolable regard for decency "is nowhere
+contradicted in Carey's works . . . . Yet the pamphlets, besides being
+palpably Whiggish, are larded _passim_ with vulgarity of the
+'Close-Stool' and 'Clyster' variety" (p. 376). The reader need look no
+further than _Namby Pamby_ to see that Carey satisfies Northrop Frye's
+very proper observation: "Genius seems to have led practically every
+great satirist to become what the world calls obscene."
+
+As for the pamphlets being "palpably Whiggish," the reader will not look
+far into the allegory before he realizes that one of the central attacks
+is against those well-known Whigs Walpole and Marlborough and their
+appetite for Dumpling (i.e., bribery and perquisites). Furthermore, the
+attack on Swift, which is central to the _Key_, is based on the very
+real fear that the Dean's two recent private interviews with Walpole
+might presage a return to that leader's Whig party in exchange for
+Dumpling. The last pages of the _Key_ (pp. 28-30) deal with the
+possibility of an accommodation between Swift and Walpole which is,
+I feel sure, the main target of attack. In his poems (_Poems_, ed. Wood,
+pp. 83, 86, 88, and _passim_) Carey claims to stand between Whig and
+Tory, just as he does in the pamphlets (_Dumpling_, p. 1, and _Key_,
+p. 15 and _passim_).
+
+Dr. Wood perceptively points to two parallels between _Dumpling_ and the
+satiric _Of Stage Tyrants_ (1735) which Carey openly addressed to the
+Earl of Chesterfield. _Dumpling's_ "O Braund, my Patron! my Pleasure!
+my Pride" (p. [ii]) becomes: "O Chesterfield, my patron and my pride"
+(_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 104). The passage which follows, dealing with
+"all the Monkey-Tricks of Rival Harlequins" (_Dumpling_, p. [ii]),
+becomes:
+
+  Prefer pure nature and the simple scene
+  To all the monkey tricks of Harlequin
+
+      (_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 106).
+
+Even more striking is a passage in the _Key_: "Mr. B[ooth] had spoken to
+Mr. W[ilks] to speak to Mr. C[ibber] . . ." (p. 111). This is similar to
+the following lines in _Stage Tyrants_:
+
+  Booth ever shew'd me friendship and respect,
+  And Wilks would rather forward than reject.
+  Ev'n Cibber, terror to the scribbling crew,
+  Would oft solicit me for something new
+
+      (_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 104).
+
+What is particularly impressive is that Carey not only refers to the
+three managers of Drury Lane but mentions them in the same order and as
+bearing the same relationship to himself. Several highly topical
+theatrical allusions in the pamphlets, by which the works can be dated,
+accord closely to the life, views, and writings of Carey. All three
+managers of Drury Lane were subscribers to Carey's _Poems on Several
+Occasions_ (1729), which was dedicated to the Countess of Burlington,
+who (like the Earl of Chesterfield) was closely related to Carey's
+putative family. In the _Poems_ these people and many others (including
+Pope) would have seen _Namby Pamby_ under Carey's name and drawn the
+obvious conclusion that _Namby Pamby_, _Dumpling_ and the _Key_ were by
+the same author.
+
+We have already seen how closely _Dumpling_ and _Stage Tyrants_ can be
+tied together; the reader can compare for himself that part of _Namby
+Pamby_ containing "So the Nurses get by Heart / Namby Pamby's Little
+Rhymes," with the passage from the _Key_: "It was here the D[ean] . . .
+got together all his Namby Pamby . . . from the old Nurses thereabouts"
+(_Key_, pp. 16-17).
+
+There exists in the Bodleian an early copy of _Namby Pamby_ (1725?) "By
+Capt. Gordon, Author of the Apology for Parson Alberony and the
+Humorist." The joke here is surely in not only letting the Whig Gordon
+attack the Whig Ambrose Phillips but then, also by association,
+connecting Gordon's name with the attack on Walpole and Marlborough.
+There is a parallel to this: Carey's "Lilliputian Ode on Their Majesties
+Succession" appeared in _Poems_ (1729), separated from the pieces
+previously mentioned by only one short patriotic stanza. Yet in the
+Huntington Library there is an almost identical version (1727) which was
+ostensibly published by Swift.
+
+The first six editions of _Dumpling_ appeared in 1726 and both editions
+of the _Key_ are dated 1727. Apart from the dates on the title page,
+this can be verified externally by the initial entries in Wilford's
+_Monthly Catalogue_ (1723-30) of February 1726 and April 1727
+respectively. Swift's first return visit to England (in March 1726 after
+twelve years) was subsequent to the publication of _Dumpling_; his
+second visit was in the same month as the publication of the _Key_,
+which assigns him _ex post facto_ the authorship "from Page 1. to Page
+25." of _Dumpling_ (_Key_, p. ix).
+
+Sir John Pudding and his Dumpling are manipulated throughout these
+pamphlets to carry a multiplicity of meaning which brings them almost as
+close to symbolism as they are to the allegory that Carey claims to be
+writing (_Key_, pp. 18, 24 and 29). Collation of _Dumpling_ with its
+_Key_ clearly reveals (with due allowance for satiric arabesque)
+a series of allegories moving backwards and forwards through history. At
+various stages, Sir John Pudding (ostensibly Brawn [or John Brand], the
+famous cook of the Rummer in Queen Street who appears in Dr. King's _Art
+of Cookery_ [1708]), becomes identifiable with King John, Sir John
+Falstaff, Walpole, Marlborough, and even Queen Anne (for the change in
+sexes see _Key_, p. 18). All of these enjoyed Dumpling, and their tastes
+are ostensibly approved while at the same time being heavily undercut
+with satiric indirection. Naturally enough, Walpole (although a Dumpling
+Eater) is treated with considerable circumspection. Carey has warned us
+that he is a bad chronologist (_Key_, p. 21), and the Sir John Pudding
+(be he Walpole or Marlborough [d. 1722]), who at the end of _Dumpling_
+is referred to as "the Hero of this DUMPLEID," is for good reason spoken
+of in the past tense.
+
+The fable of Dumpling, in the true spirit of _lanx satura_, allows Carey
+to attack by indirection a complete spectrum of traditional
+eighteenth-century targets. Like the musician and the satirist that he
+is, he builds up to a magnificent crescendo (pp. 19-24 of his
+"Dumpleid") which results in one of the finest displays of sustained
+virtuosity in early eighteenth-century pamphlet writing.
+
+The notes which follow the texts point to a number of the contemporary
+allusions, but the reader will surely wish to recognize some of the
+references and the more delicate ironies for himself. As the author puts
+it on page 17 of _Dumpling_:
+
+O wou'd to Heav'n this little Attempt of Mine may stir up some
+_Pudding-headed Antiquary_ to dig his Way through all the mouldy Records
+of Antiquity, and bring to Light the Noble Actions of Sir _John_!
+
+What scholar could refuse?

+
+
+SIR,
+
+Let Mercenary _Authors_ flatter the Great, and subject
+their Principle to Interest and Ambition, I scorn such
+sordid Views; You only are Eminent in my Eyes: On You
+I look as the most Useful Member in a Body-Politic,
+and your Art far superior to all others: Therefore,
+
+  _Tu mihi Mecænas Eris!_
+
+O BRAUND, my Patron! my Pleasure! my Pride! disdain
+not to grace my Labours with a kind Perusal. Suspend
+a-while your more momentous Cares, and condescend to
+taste this little _Fricassee_ of Mine.
+
+I write not this, to Bite you by the Ear, (_i.e._)
+flatter you out of a Brace or two of Guinea's: No;
+as I am a true _Dumpling Eater_, my Views are purely
+_Epicurean_, and my utmost Hopes center'd in partaking
+of some elegant _Quelque Chose_ tost up by your
+judicious Hand. I regard Money but as a Ticket which
+admits me to your Delicate Entertainments; to me much
+more Agreeable than all the Monkey-Tricks of Rival
+_Harlequins_, or _Puppet-Show_ Finery of Contending
+_Theatres_.
+
+The Plague and fatigue of Dependance and Attendance,
+which call me so often to the Court-end of the Town,
+were insupportable, but for the Relief I find at
+AUSTIN's, your Ingenious and Grateful Disciple, who
+has adorn'd _New Bond-street_ with your Graceful
+_Effigies_. Nor can he fail of Custom who has hung out
+a Sign so Alluring to all true _Dumpling-Eaters_. Many
+a time and oft have I gaz'd with Pleasure on your
+Features, and trac'd in them the exact Lineaments of
+your glorious Ancestor Sir JOHN BRAND, vulgarly call'd
+Sir JOHN PUDDING.
+
+Tho' the Corruption of our _English_ Orthography
+indulges some appearance of Distinction between BRAND
+and BRAUND, yet in Effect they are one and the same
+thing. The ancient Manor of BRAND's, alias BRAUND's,
+near Kilburn in _Middlesex_, was the very Manor-House
+of Sir JOHN BRAND, and is call'd BRAND's to this Day,
+altho' at present it be in the Possession of the
+Family of MARSH.
+
+What Honours are therefore due to One who is in a
+Direct Male Line, an Immediate Descendant from the
+Loins of that Great Man! Let this teach You to value
+your Self; this remind the World, how much they owe to
+the Family of the BRAUNDS; more particularly to YOU,
+who inherit not only the Name, but the Virtues of your
+Illustrious Ancestor. I am,
+
+  SIR,
+
+  With all imaginable
+    Esteem and Gratitude,
+      Your very most
+        Obedient Servant, _&c._

+
+
+    A
+
+  Learned Dissertation
+
+    on
+
+  DUMPLING;
+
+  Its Dignity, Antiquity, _&c._
+
+
+The Dumpling-Eaters are a Race sprung partly from the
+old _Epicurean_, and partly from the _Peripatetic
+Sect_; they were brought first into _Britain_ by
+_Julius Cesar_; and finding it a Land of Plenty, they
+wisely resolv'd never to go Home again. Their
+Doctrines are Amphibious, and compos'd _Party per
+Pale_ of the two Sects before-mention'd; from the
+_Peripatetics_, they derive their Principle of
+Walking, as a proper Method to digest a Meal, or
+create an Appetite; from the _Epicureans_, they
+maintain that all Pleasures are comprehended in good
+Eating and Drinking: And so readily were their
+Opinions embrac'd, that every Day produc'd many
+Proselytes; and their Numbers have from Age to Age
+increas'd prodigiously, insomuch that our whole Island
+is over-run with them, at present. Eating and Drinking
+are become so Customary among us that we seem to have
+entirely forgot, and laid aside the old Fashion of
+Fasting: Instead of having Wine sold at Apothecaries
+Shops, as formerly, every Street has two or three
+Taverns in it, least these Dumpling-Eaters should
+faint by the Way; nay, so zealous are they in the
+Cause of _Bacchus_, that one of the Chief among 'em
+has made a Vow never to say his Prayers 'till he has a
+Tavern of _his own_ in every Street in _London_, and
+in every Market-Town in _England_. What may we then in
+Time expect? Since by insensible Degrees, their
+Society is become so numerous and formidable, that
+they are without Number; other Bodies have their
+Meetings, but where can the Dumpling-Eaters assemble?
+what Place large enough to contain 'em! The _Bank_,
+_India_, and _South-Sea_ Companies have their General
+Courts, the _Free-Masons_ and the _Gormogons_ their
+Chapters; nay, our Friends the _Quakers_ have their
+Yearly Meetings. And who would imagine any of these
+should be Dumpling-Eaters? But thus it is, the
+Dumpling-Eating Doctrine has so far prevailed among
+'em, that they eat not only Dumplings, but _Puddings_,
+and those in no small Quantities.
+
+The Dumpling is indeed, of more antient Institution,
+and of _Foreign_ Origin; but alas, what were those
+Dumplings? nothing but a few Lentils sodden together,
+moisten'd and cemented with a little seeth'd Fat, not
+much unlike our Gritt or Oatmeal Pudding; yet were
+they of such Esteem among the ancient _Romans_, that a
+Statue was erected to _Fulvius Agricola_, the first
+Inventor of these Lentil Dumplings. How unlike the
+Gratitude shewn by the Publick to our Modern
+Projectors!
+
+The _Romans_, tho' our Conquerors, found themselves
+much out-done in Dumplings by our Fore-fathers; the
+_Roman_ Dumplings were no more to compare to those
+made by the _Britons_, than a Stone-Dumpling is to a
+Marrow Pudding; tho' indeed, the _British_ Dumpling at
+that time, was little better than what we call a
+Stone-Dumpling, being no thing else but Flour and
+Water: But every Generation growing wiser and wiser,
+the Project was improv'd, and Dumpling grew to be
+Pudding: One Projector found Milk better than Water;
+another introduc'd Butter; some added Marrow, others
+Plumbs; and some found out the Use of Sugar; so that,
+to speak Truth, we know not where to fix the Genealogy
+or Chronology of any of these Pudding Projectors,
+to the Reproach of our Historians, who eat so much
+Pudding, yet have been so Ungrateful to the first
+Professors of this most noble Science, as not to find
+'em a Place in History.
+
+The Invention of Eggs was merely accidental, two or
+three of which having casually roll'd from off a Shelf
+into a Pudding which a good Wife was making, she found
+herself under a Necessity either of throwing away her
+Pudding, or letting the Eggs remain, but concluding
+from the innocent Quality of the Eggs, that they would
+do no Hurt, if they did no Good. She wisely jumbl'd
+'em all together, after having carefully pick'd out
+the Shells; the Consequence is easily imagined, the
+Pudding became a Pudding of Puddings; and the Use of
+Eggs from thence took its Date. The Woman was sent for
+to Court to make Puddings for King _John_, who then
+sway'd the Scepter; and gain'd such Favour, that she
+was the making of her whole Family. I cannot conclude
+this Paragraph without owning, I received this
+important Part of the History of Pudding from old Mr.
+_Lawrence_ of _Wilsden-Green_, the greatest Antiquary
+of the present Age.
+
+From that Time the _English_ became so famous for
+Puddings, that they are call'd Pudding-Eaters all over
+the World, to this Day.
+
+At her Demise, her Son was taken into Favour, and made
+the King's chief Cook; and so great was his Fame for
+Puddings, that he was call'd _Jack Pudding_ all over
+the Kingdom, tho' in Truth, his real Name was _John
+Brand_, as by the Records of the Kitchen you will
+find: This _John Brand_, or _Jack-Pudding_, call him
+which you please, the _French_ have it _Jean Boudin_,
+for his Fame had reached _France_, whose King would
+have given the World to have had our _Jack_ for his
+Pudding-Maker. This _Jack Pudding_, I say, became yet
+a greater Favourite than his Mother, insomuch that he
+had the King's Ear as well as his Mouth at Command;
+for the King, you must know, was a mighty Lover of
+Pudding; and _Jack_ fitted him to a Hair, he knew how
+to make the most of a Pudding; no Pudding came amiss
+to him, he would make a Pudding out of a Flint-stone,
+comparatively speaking. It is needless to enumerate
+the many sorts of Pudding he made, such as Plain
+Pudding, Plumb Pudding, Marrow Pudding, Oatmeal
+Pudding, Carrot Pudding, Saucesage Pudding, Bread
+Pudding, Flower Pudding, Suet Pudding, and in short,
+every Pudding but Quaking Pudding, which was solely
+invented by, and took its Name from our Good Friends
+of the _Bull and Mouth_ before mentioned,
+notwithstanding the many Pretenders to that
+Projection.
+
+But what rais'd our Hero most in the Esteem of this
+Pudding-eating Monarch, was his Second Edition of
+Pudding, he being the first that ever invented the Art
+of Broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King's likeing, (who had a mortal
+Aversion to Cold Pudding,) that he thereupon
+instituted him Knight of the Gridiron, and gave him a
+Gridiron of Gold, the Ensign of that Order, which he
+always wore as a Mark of his Sovereign's Favour; in
+short, _Jack Pudding_, or Sir _John_, grew to be all
+in all with good King _John_; he did nothing without
+him, they were Finger and Glove; and, if we may
+believe Tradition, our very good Friend had no small
+Hand in the _Magna Charta_. If so, how much are all
+_Englishmen_ indebted to him? in what Repute ought the
+Order of the Gridiron to be, which was instituted to
+do Honour to this Wonderful Man? But alas! how soon is
+Merit forgot? how impudently do the Vulgar turn the
+most serious Things into Ridicule, and mock the most
+solemn Trophies of Honour? for now every Fool at a
+Fair, or Zany at a Mountebank's Stage, is call'd _Jack
+Pudding_, has a Gridiron at his Back, and a great Pair
+of Spectacles at his Buttocks, to ridicule the most
+noble Order of the Gridiron. But their Spectacles is a
+most ungrateful Reflection on the Memory of that great
+Man, whose indefatigable Application to his Business,
+and deep Study in that occult Science, rendred him
+Poreblind; to remedy which Misfortune, he had always a
+'Squire follow'd him, bearing a huge Pair of
+Spectacles to saddle his Honour's Nose, and supply his
+much-lamented Defect of Sight. But whether such an
+Unhappiness did not deserve rather Pity than Ridicule,
+I leave to the Determination of all good Christians:
+I cannot but say, it raises my Indignation, when I see
+these Paunch-gutted Fellows usurping the Title and
+Atchievements of my dear Sir _John_, whose Memory I so
+much venerate, I cannot always contain my self.
+I remember, to my Cost, I once carry'd my Resentment a
+little farther than ordinary; in furiously assaulting
+one of those Rascals, I tore the Gridiron from his
+Back, and the Spectacles from his A--e; for which I
+was Apprehended, carried to Pye-powder Court, and by
+that tremendous Bench, sentenc'd to most severe Pains
+and Penalties.
+
+This has indeed a little tam'd me, insomuch that I
+keep my Fingers to my self, but at the same time let
+my Tongue run like a Devil: Forbear vile Miscreants,
+cry I, where-e'er I meet these Wretches? forbear to
+ascribe to your selves the Name and Honours of Sir
+_John Pudding_? content your selves with being
+_Zanies_, _Pickled-Herrings_, _Punchionellos_, but
+dare not scandalize the noble Name of _Pudding_: Nor
+can I, notwithstanding the Clamours and Ill Usage of
+the Vulgar, refrain bearing my Testimony against this
+manifest piece of Injustice.
+
+What Pity it is therefore, so noble an Order should be
+lost, or at least neglected. We have had no Account of
+the real Knights of the Gridiron, since they appeared
+under the fictitious Name of the _Kit-Kat Club_: In
+their Possession was the very Gridiron of Gold worn by
+Sir _John_ himself; which Identical Gridiron dignified
+the Breast of the most ingenious Mr. _Richard
+Estcourt_ that excellent Physician and Comedian, who
+was President of that Noble Society.
+
+  _Quis talia fando temperet à Lachrymis?_
+
+What is become of the Gridiron, or of the Remains of
+that excellent Body of Men, Time will, I hope,
+discover. The World, I believe, must for such
+Discoveries be obliged to my very good Friend _J----
+T----_ Esq; who had the Honour to be Door-keeper to
+that Honourable Assembly.
+
+
+But to return to Sir _John_: The more his Wit engaged
+the King, the more his Grandeur alarm'd his Enemies,
+who encreas'd with his Honours. Not but the Courtiers
+caress'd him to a Man, as the first who had brought
+Dumpling-eating to Perfection. King _John_ himself
+lov'd him entirely; being of _Cesar_'s Mind, that is,
+he had a natural Antipathy against Meagre,
+Herring-gutted Wretches; he lov'd only _Fat-headed
+Men, and such who slept o' Nights_; and of such was
+his whole Court compos'd. Now it was Sir _John_'s
+Method, every _Sunday_ Morning, to give the Courtiers
+a Breakfast, which Breakfast was every Man his
+Dumpling and Cup of Wine; for you must know, he was
+Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at the same time.
+
+This was a great Eye-sore and Heart-burning to some
+Lubberly Abbots who loung'd about the Court; they took
+it in great Dudgeon they were not Invited, and stuck
+so close to his Skirts, that they never rested 'till
+they Outed him. They told the King, who was naturally
+very Hasty, that Sir _John_ made-away with his Wine,
+and feasted his Paramours at his Expence; and not only
+so, but that they were forming a Design against his
+Life, which they in Conscience ought to discover: That
+Sir _John_ was not only an Heretic, but an Heathen;
+nay worse, they fear'd he was a Witch, and that he had
+bewitcht His Majesty into that unaccountable Fondness
+for a _Pudding-Maker_. They assur'd the King, That on
+a _Sunday_ Morning, instead of being at Mattins, he
+and his Trigrimates got together Hum-jum, all snug,
+and perform'd many Hellish and Diabolical Ceremonies.
+In short, they made the King believe that the Moon was
+made of Green-Cheese: And to shew how the Innocent may
+be Bely'd, and the best Intentions misrepresented,
+they told the King, That He and his Associates offer'd
+Sacrifices to _Ceres_: When, alas, it was only the
+Dumplings they eat. The Butter which was melted and
+pour'd over them, these vile Miscreants call'd
+_Libations_: And the friendly Compotations of our
+Dumpling-eaters, were call'd _Bacchanalian Rites_. Two
+or three among 'em being sweet-tooth'd, wou'd strew a
+little Sugar over their Dumplings; this was
+represented as an _Heathenish Offering_. In short, not
+one Action of theirs, but what these Rascally Abbots
+made Criminal, and never let the King alone 'till poor
+Sir _John_ was Discarded. Not but the King did it with
+the greatest Reluctance; but they had made it a
+Religious Concern, and he cou'd not get off on't.
+
+But mark the Consequence: The King never enjoy'd
+himself after, nor was it long before he was poison'd
+by a Monk at _Swineshead_ Abbey. Then too late he saw
+his Error; then he lamented the Loss of Sir _John_;
+and in his latest Moments wou'd cry out, Oh! that I
+had never parted from my dear _Jack Pudding_! Wou'd I
+had never left off Pudding and Dumpling! I then had
+never been thus basely Poison'd! never thus
+treacherously sent out of the World!----Thus did this
+good King lament: But, alas, to no Purpose, the Priest
+had given him his Bane, and Complaints were
+ineffectual.
+
+Sir _John_, in the mean time, had retir'd into
+_Norfolk_, where his diffusive Knowledge extended it
+self for the Good of the County in general; and from
+that very Cause _Norfolk_ has ever since been so
+famous for Dumplings. He lamented the King's Death to
+his very last; and was so cautious of being poison'd
+by the Priests, that he never touch'd a Wafer to the
+Day of his Death; And had it not been that some of the
+less-designing part of the Clergy were his intimate
+Friends, and eat daily of his Dumplings, he had
+doubtless been Made-away with; but they stood in the
+Gap for him, for the sake of his Dumplings, knowing
+that when Sir _John_ was gone, they should never have
+the like again.
+
+But our facetious Knight was too free of his Talk to
+be long secure; for a Hole was pick'd in his Coat in
+the succeeding Reign, and poor Sir _John_ had all his
+Goods and Chattels forfeited to the King's Use. It was
+then time for him to bestir himself; and away to Court
+he goes, to recover his Lands, _&c._ not doubting but
+he had Friends there sufficient to carry his Cause.
+
+But alas! how was he mistaken; not a Soul there knew
+him; the very Porters used him rudely. In vain did he
+seek for Access to the King, to vindicate his Conduct.
+In vain did he claim Acquaintance with the Lords of
+the Court; and reap up old Civilities, to remind 'em
+of former Kindness; the Pudding was eat, the
+Obligation was over: Which made Sir _John_ compose
+that excellent Proverb, _Not a word of the Pudding_.
+And finding all Means ineffectual, he left the Court
+in a great Pet; yet not without passing a severe Joke
+upon 'em, in his way, which was this; He sent a
+Pudding to the King's Table, under the Name of a
+_Court-Pudding_, or _Promise-Pudding_. This Pudding he
+did not fail to set off with large Encomiums; assuring
+the King, That therein he wou'd find an Hieroglyphical
+Definition of Courtiers Promises and Friendship.
+
+This caused some Speculation; and the King's Physician
+debarr'd the King from tasting the Pudding, not
+knowing but that Sir _John_ had poison'd it.
+
+But how great a Fit of Laughter ensu'd, may be easily
+guess'd, when the Pudding was cut up, it prov'd only a
+large Bladder, just clos'd over with Paste: The
+Bladder was full of Wind, and nothing else, excepting
+these Verses written in a Roll of Paper, and put in,
+as is suppos'd, before the Bladder was blown full:
+
+  As Wynde in a Bladdere ypent,
+  is Lordings promyse and ferment;
+  fain what hem lust withouten drede,
+  they bene so double in her falshede:
+  For they in heart can think ene thing,
+  and fain another in her speaking:
+  and what was sweet and apparent,
+  is smaterlich, and eke yshent.
+  and when of service you have nede,
+  pardie he will not rein nor rede.
+  but when the Symnel it is eten,
+  her curtesse is all foryetten.
+
+This Adventure met with various Constructions from
+those at Table: Some Laugh'd; others Frown'd. But the
+King took the Joke by the right End, and Laugh'd
+outright.
+
+The Verses, tho' but scurvy ones in themselves, yet in
+those Days pass'd for tolerable: Nay, the King was
+mightily pleas'd with 'em, and play'd 'em off on his
+Courtiers as Occasion serv'd; he wou'd stop 'em short
+in the middle of a flattering Harangue, and cry, _Not
+a Word of the Pudding_. This wou'd daunt and mortify
+'em to the last degree; they curs'd Sir _John_ a
+thousand times over for the Proverb's sake: but to no
+Purpose; for the King gave him a private Hearing:
+In which he so well satisfy'd His Majesty of his
+Innocence and Integrity, that all his Lands were
+restor'd. The King wou'd have put him in his old Post;
+but he modestly declin'd it, but at the same time
+presented His Majesty with a Book of most excellent
+Receipts for all kinds of Puddings: Which Book His
+Majesty receiv'd with all imaginable Kindness, and
+kept it among his greatest Rarities.
+
+But yet, as the best Instructions, tho' never so
+strictly followed, may not be always as successfully
+executed, so not one of the King's Cooks cou'd make a
+Pudding like Sir _John_; nay, tho' he made a Pudding
+before their Eyes, yet they out of the very same
+Materials could not do the like. Which made his old
+Friends the Monks attribute it to Witchcraft, and it
+was currently reported the Devil was his Helper. But
+good King _Harry_ was not to be fobb'd off so; the
+Pudding was good, it sate very well on his Stomach,
+and he eat very savourly, without the least Remorse of
+Conscience.
+
+In short, Sir _John_ grew in Favour in spite of their
+Teeth: The King lov'd a merry Joke; and Sir _John_ had
+always his Budget full of Punns, Connundrums and
+Carrawitchets; not to forgot the Quibbles and
+Fly-flaps he play'd against his Adversaries, at which
+the King has laugh'd 'till his Sides crackt.
+
+Sir _John_, tho' he was no very great Scholar, yet had
+a happy way of Expressing himself: He was a Man of the
+most Engaging Address, and never fail'd to draw
+Attention: Plenty and Good-Nature smil'd in his Face;
+his Muscles were never distorted with Anger or
+Contemplation, but an eternal Smile drew up the
+Corners of his Mouth; his very Eyes laugh'd; and as
+for his Chin it was three-double, a-down which hung a
+goodly Whey-colour'd Beard shining with the Drippings
+of his Luxury; for you must know he was a great
+Epicure, and had a very Sensible Mouth; he thought
+nothing too-good for himself, all his Care was for his
+Belly; and his Palate was so exquisite, that it was
+the perfect Standard of Tasting. So that to him we owe
+all that is elegant in Eating: For Pudding was not his
+only Talent, he was a great Virtuoso in all manner of
+Eatables; and tho' he might come short of _Lambert_
+for Confectionary-Niceties, yet was he not inferiour
+to _Brawnd_, _Lebec_, _Pede_, or any other great
+Masters of Cookery; he could toss up a Fricassée as
+well as a Pancake: And most of the Kickshaws now in
+vogue, are but his Inventions, with other Names; for
+what we call _Fricassées_, he call'd _Pancakes_; as,
+a Pancake of Chickens, a Pancake of Rabbets, _&c._
+Nay, the _French_ call a Pudding an _English_
+Fricassée, to this Day.
+
+We value our selves mightily for Roasting a Hare with
+a Pudding in its Belly; when alas he has roasted an Ox
+with a Pudding in his Belly. There was no Man like him
+for Invention and Contrivance: And then for Execution,
+he spar'd no Labour and Pains to compass his
+magnanimous Designs.
+
+O wou'd to Heav'n this little Attempt of Mine may stir
+up some _Pudding-headed Antiquary_ to dig his Way
+through all the mouldy Records of Antiquity, and bring
+to Light the Noble Actions of Sir _John_! It will not
+then be long before we see him on the Stage. Sir _John
+Falstaffe_ then will be a Shrimp to Sir _John
+Pudding_, when rais'd from Oblivion and reanimated by
+the All-Invigorating Pen of the Well-Fed, Well-Read,
+Well-Pay'd _C-- J----_ Esq; Nor wou'd this be all; for
+the Pastry-Cooks wou'd from the Hands of an eminent
+Physician and Poet receive whole Loads of Memorandums,
+to remind 'em of the Gratitude due to Sir _John_'s
+Memory.
+
+On such a Subject I hope to see Sir _Richard_ Out-do
+himself. Nor _Arthur_ nor _Eliza_ shall with Sir
+_John_ compare. There is not so much difference
+between a Telescope and a Powder-Puff,
+a Hoop-Petty-Coat and a Farthing-Candle, a Birch-Broom
+and a Diamond-Ring, as there will be between the
+former Writings of this pair of Poets and their
+Lucubrations on this Head.
+
+Nor will it stop here: The _Opera_ Composers shall
+have t'other Contest, which shall best sing-forth his
+Praises. Sorry am I that _Nicolino_ is not here, he
+would have made an excellent Sir _John_. But
+_Senefino_, being blown up after the manner that
+Butchers blow Calves, may do well enough. From thence
+the Painters and Print-sellers shall retail his goodly
+Phiz; and what _Sacheverel_ was, shall Sir _John
+Pudding_ be; his Head shall hang Elate on every Sign,
+his Fame shall ring in every Street, and _Cluer_'s
+Press shall teem with Ballads to his Praise. This
+would be but Honour, this would be but Gratitude, from
+a Generation so much indebted to so Great a Man.
+
+But how much do we deviate from Honour and Gratitude,
+when we put other Names to his Inventions, and call
+'em our own? What is a Tart, a Pie, or a Pasty, but
+Meat or Fruit enclos'd in a Wall or Covering of
+Pudding. What is a Cake, but a Bak'd Pudding; or a
+_Christmas_-Pie, but a Minc'd-Meat-Pudding. As for
+Cheese-cakes, Custards, Tansies, they are manifest
+Puddings, and all of Sir _John_'s own Contrivance; for
+Custard is as old if not older than _Magna Charta_.
+In short, Pudding is of the greatest Dignity and
+Antiquity. Bread it self, which is the very Staff of
+Life, is, properly speaking, a Bak'd Wheat-Pudding.
+
+To the Satchel, which is the Pudding-Bag of Ingenuity,
+we are indebted for the greatest Men in Church and
+State. All Arts and Sciences owe their Original to
+Pudding or Dumpling. What is a Bag-Pipe, the Mother of
+all Music, but a Pudding of Harmony. And what is Music
+it self, but a Palatable Cookery of Sounds. To little
+Puddings or Bladders of Colours we owe all the choice
+Originals of the Greatest Painters: And indeed, what
+is Painting, but a well-spread Pudding, or Cookery of
+Colours.
+
+The Head of Man is like a Pudding: And whence have all
+Rhimes, Poems, Plots and Inventions sprang, but from
+that same Pudding. What is Poetry, but a Pudding of
+Words. The Physicians, tho' they cry out so much
+against Cooks and Cookery, yet are but Cooks
+themselves; with this difference only, the Cooks
+Pudding lengthens Life, the Physicians shortens it.
+So that we Live and Die by Pudding. For what is a
+Clyster, but a Bag-Pudding; a Pill, but a Dumpling;
+or a Bolus, but a Tansy, tho' not altogether so
+Toothsome. In a word; Physick is only a Puddingizing
+or Cookery of Drugs. The Law is but a Cookery of
+Quibbles and Contentions. [a] * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * is but a Pudding of * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * *. Some swallow every thing whole and unmix'd;
+so that it may rather be call'd a Heap, than a
+Pudding. Others are so Squeamish, the greatest
+Mastership in Cookery is requir'd to make the Pudding
+Palatable: The Suet which others gape and swallow by
+Gobs, must for these puny Stomachs be minced to Atoms;
+the Plums must be pick'd with the utmost Care, and
+every Ingredient proportion'd to the greatest Nicety,
+or it will never go down.
+
+    [Footnote a: _The Cat run away with this part
+    of the Copy, on which the Author had unfortunately
+    laid some of Mother _Crump_'s Sausages._]
+
+The Universe it self is but a Pudding of Elements.
+Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republicks are but
+Puddings of People differently made up. The Celestial
+and Terrestrial Orbs are decypher'd to us by a pair of
+Globes or Mathematical Puddings.
+
+The Success of War and Fate of Monarchies are entirely
+dependant on Puddings and Dumplings: For what else are
+Cannon-Balls, but Military Puddings; or Bullets, but
+Dumplings; only with this difference, they do not sit
+so well on the Stomach as a good Marrow-Pudding or
+Bread-Pudding.
+
+In short, There is nothing valuable in Nature, but
+what, more or less, has an Allusion to Pudding or
+Dumpling. Why then should they be held in Disesteem?
+Why should Dumpling-Eating be ridicul'd, or
+Dumpling-Eaters derided? Is it not Pleasant and
+Profitable? Is it not Ancient and Honourable? Kings,
+Princes, and Potentates have in all Ages been Lovers
+of Pudding. Is it not therefore of Royal Authority?
+Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Deacons have,
+Time out of Mind, been great Pudding-Eaters: Is it not
+therefore a Holy and Religious Institution?
+Philosophers, Poets, and Learned Men in all Faculties,
+Judges, Privy-Councellors, and Members of both Houses,
+have, by their great Regard to Pudding, given a
+Sanction to it that nothing can efface. Is it not
+therefore Ancient, Honourable, and Commendable?
+
+  _Quare itaque fremuerunt Auctores?_
+
+Why do therefore the Enemies of good Eating, the
+Starve-gutted Authors of Grub-street, employ their
+impotent Pens against Pudding and Pudding-headed,
+_aliàs_ Honest Men? Why do they inveigh against
+Dumpling-Eating which is the Life and Soul of
+Good-fellowship, and Dumpling-Eaters who are the
+Ornaments of Civil Society.
+
+But, alas! their Malice is their own Punishment. The
+Hireling Author of a late scandalous Libel, intituled,
+_The Dumpling-Eaters Downfall_, may, if he has any
+Eyes, now see his Error, in attacking so Numerous,
+so August a Body of People: His Books remain Unsold,
+Unread, Unregarded; while this Treatise of Mine shall
+be Bought by all who love Pudding or Dumpling; to my
+Bookseller's great Joy, and my no small Consolation.
+How shall I Triumph, and how will that Mercenary
+Scribbler be Mortify'd, when I have sold more Editions
+of my Books, than he has Copies of his! I therefore
+exhort all People, Gentle and Simple, Men, Women and
+Children, to Buy, to Read, to Extol these Labours of
+Mine, for the Honour of Dumpling-Eating. Let them not
+fear to defend every Article; for I will bear them
+Harmless: I have Arguments good store, and can easily
+Confute, either Logically, Theologically, or
+Metaphysically, all those who dare Oppose me.
+
+Let not _Englishmen_ therefore be asham'd of the Name
+of _Pudding-Eaters_; but, on the contrary, let it be
+their Glory. For let Foreigners cry out ne'er so much
+against Good Eating, they come easily into it when
+they have been a little while in our _Land of Canaan_;
+and there are very few Foreigners among as who have
+not learn'd to make as great a Hole in a good Pudding
+or Sirloin of Beef as the best _Englishman_ of us all.
+
+Why shou'd we then be Laught out of Pudding and
+Dumpling? or why Ridicul'd out of Good Living? Plots
+and Politics may hurt us, but Pudding cannot. Let us
+therefore adhere to Pudding, and keep our selves out
+of Harm's Way; according to the Golden Rule laid down
+by a celebrated Dumpling-Eater now defunct;
+
+  _Be of your Patron's Mind, whate'er he says:
+  Sleep very much; Think little, and Talk less:
+  Mind neither Good nor Bad, nor Right nor Wrong;
+  But Eat your Pudding, Fool, and Hold your Tongue._
+      PRIOR.
+
+The Author of these excellent Lines not only shews his
+Wisdom, but his Good-Breeding, and great Esteem for
+the Memory of Sir _John_, by giving his _Poem_ the
+Title of _Merry Andrew_, and making _Merry Andrew_ the
+principal Spokesman: For if I guess aright, and surely
+I guess not wrong, his main Design was, to ascertain
+the Name of _Merry Andrew_ to the _Fool_ of a Droll,
+and to substitute it instead of _Jack Pudding_; which
+Name my Friend _Matt._ cou'd not hear with Temper, as
+carrying with it an oblique Reflection on Sir _John
+Pudding_ the Hero of this DUMPLEID.
+
+Let all those therefore who have any Regard to
+Politeness and Propriety of Speech, take heed how they
+Err against this Rule laid down by him who was the
+Standard of _English_ Elegance. And be it known to all
+whom it may concern, That if any Person whatever shall
+dare hereafter to apply the Name of _Jack Pudding_ to
+_Merry Andrews_ and such-like Creatures, I hereby
+Require and Impower any Stander or Standers by, to
+Knock him, her, or them down. And if any Action or
+Actions of Assault and Battery shall be brought
+against any Person or Persons so acting in pursuance
+of this most reasonable Request, by Knocking down,
+Bruising, Beating, or otherwise Demolishing such
+Offenders; I will Indemnify and bear them Harmless.

+  _London-Bridge is broken down_:
+  Now he _courts the gay Ladee,
+  Dancing o'er the Lady-Lee_:
+  Now he sings of _Lick-spit Liar
+  Burning in the Brimstone Fire;
+  Lyar, Lyar, Lick-spit, lick,
+  Turn about the Candle-stick_:
+  Now he sings of _Jacky Horner_
+  _Sitting in the Chimney corner,
+  Eating of a Christmas-Pie,

+  Putting in, _Oh, fie!_ his Thumb,
+  Pulling out, _Oh, strange!_ a Plum._
+  And again, how _Nancy Cock_,

+  Now he acts the _Grenadier_,
+  Calling for _a Pot of Beer_:
+  _Where's his Money? He's forgot;
+  Get him gone, a Drunken Sot._
+  Now on _Cock-horse_ does he ride;
+  And anon on Timber stride.
+  _See-and-Saw and Sacch'ry down,

+  _Pins a-piece to see his Show_;
+  Boys and Girls flock Row by Row;
+  From their Cloaths the Pins they take,
+  Risque a Whipping for his sake;
+  From their Frocks the Pins they pull,

+  So much Wit at such an Age,

+  Second Childhood gone and past,
+  Shou'd he prove a Man at last,

+  Let your Tuneful _Nine_ Inspire him;
+  Let Poetic Fury fire him:
+  Let the Poets one and all
+  To his Genius Victims fall.

+PREFACE
+
+
+It very much surprizes me that six Editions of a
+Mythological Pamphlet, entituled, _A Dissertation on
+Dumpling_, should escape your Notice of that wonderful
+Unriddler of Mysteries the ingenious Mr. _E---- C---_
+who has at the same Time given such Proofs of his
+Abilities in his many and most elaborate Keys to
+_Gulliver_'s Travels; Keys, which _Gulliver_ himself
+could never have found out! and withal, so pertinent,
+that I shall esteem those at the Helm, no great Lovers
+of Learning, if my Friend _Edmund_ be not forthwith
+promoted: for as the Sweetness of a Kernel is
+uncomatable, but by the Fracture of its Shell, so is
+the Beauty of a Mystery altogether hid, till the
+Expounder has riddlemayreed the Propounder's Problem,
+and render'd it obvious to the meanest Capacity.
+
+The only Plea I can use in Mr. _C----'s_ behalf, is,
+that the Author of the Dissertation has been a little
+too free with his Character, which probably occasioned
+that Sullenness in our _British Oedipus_; who in Order
+to be revenged, has determined not to embelish the
+Work with his Interpretation, but rather let it rot
+and perish in Oblivion.
+
+This, and nothing else, could be the Reason of so
+profound a Silence in so great a Mysterymonger,
+to remedy which Loss to the Publick, I an unworthy
+Scribler, and faint Copier of that great Artist,
+presume with aching Heart, and trembling Hand, to draw
+the Veil which shades the political Pamphlet in
+Question; and show it to my loving Countrymen in
+_Puris Naturalibus_.
+
+If I succeed in this, I hope Mr. _L----t_, who all the
+World knows is a rare Chap to his Authors, will
+speedily employ me to unriddle, or at least make a
+Plot to the _Rival Modes_, which it seems the Author
+has omitted: it is true, he ought to have given it the
+Bookseller with the Copy, but has not so done, which
+makes me wonder he is not sued for Breach of Covenant;
+but what is that to me, if I get a Job by the Bargain?
+Let Booksellers beware how they buy Plays without
+Plots for the future.
+
+I narrowly miss'd solving the Problem called _Wagner_
+and _Abericock_; Mr. _B----_ had spoke to Mr. _W----_
+to speak to Mr. _C----_, who had just consented to
+employ me, after having made me abate half my demand:
+But Houses running thin, _Colley_ had undertaken the
+Job himself to save Charges; intending at the same
+Time, to annex a severe Criticism on _Pluto_ and
+_Proserpine_.
+
+This, gentle Reader, will, I hope, induce you to look
+on me as a Writer of some Regard, and at the same
+Time, to make a little Allowance for whatever Errors
+my great Hurry may occasion, being obliged to write
+Night and Day, Sundays and working Days, without the
+least Assistance. All our Journeymen Writers being now
+turned Masters, I am left to shift for my self; but am
+bringing up my Wife to the Business, and doubt not but
+a long War, and our mutual Industry, may rub off old
+Scores, and make us begin a new Reckoning with all
+Mankind; Pamphleteering having been so dead for many
+Years last past, that (God forgive me!) I have been
+oftentimes tempted to write Treason for mere
+Sustenance.
+
+But Thanks to better Stars and better Days, the Pen
+revives, and Authors flourish; more Money can be made
+now of a Play, nay, though it be a scurvy One, than
+_Dryden_ got by all his Works. Therefore now or never
+is the Time to strike while the Iron is hot, to write
+my self out of Debt, and into Place, and then grow
+idle and laugh at the World, as my Betters have done
+before me.

+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+When a Book has met with Success, it never wants a
+Father; there being those good natured Souls in the
+World, who, rather than let Mankind think such
+Productions sprang of themselves, will own the
+Vagabond Brat, and thereby become Fathers of other
+Mens Offsprings.
+
+This was the Fate of Dumpling, whose real Father did
+not take more Care to conceal himself, than some did
+to be thought its Author; but if any one will
+recollect the Time of its Publication, they will find
+it within a Week after the Arrival of D----n _S----t_,
+from _Ireland_; the Occasion, as I am very well
+informed, was this, the D----n, one of the first
+Things he did, went to pay a Visit to Mr. _T----_, his
+old Bookseller; but, to his Surprize, found both the
+Brothers dead, and a Relation in the Shop, to whom he
+was an utter Stranger. Mr. _M----_ for such is this
+Person's Name, gathering from the D--n's Enquiries who
+he was, paid him his _Devoirs_ in the most respectful
+Manner, solicited his Friendship, and invited him to a
+Dinner, which the D----n was pleased to accept. By the
+Way, you must know, he is a great Lover of Dumpling,
+as well as the Bookseller, who had ordered one for
+himself, little dreaming of such a Guest that Day. The
+Dinner, as 'twas not provided on purpose, was but a
+Family one, well enough however for a Bookseller; that
+is to say, a couple of Fowls, Bacon and Sprouts
+boiled, and a Forequarter of Lamb roasted. After the
+usual Complements for the unexpected Honour, and the
+old Apology of wishing it was better for his sake:
+The Maid, silly Girl! came and asked her Master if he
+pleased to have his Dumpling; he would have chid her,
+but the D----n mollified him, insisting at the same
+Time, upon the Introduction of Dumpling, which
+accordingly was done. Dumpling gave Cause of
+Conversation, but not till it was eat; for the Reader
+must understand, that both the Gentlemen play a good
+Knife and Fork, and are too mannerly to talk with
+their Mouths full. The Dumpling eat, as I said before,
+the D----n drank to the Bookseller, the Bookseller to
+the Author, and with an obsequious Smile, seem'd to
+say ah! Dear Doctor, you have been a Friend to my
+Predecessor, can you do nothing for me? The D--n took
+the Hint, and after a profound Contemplation, cry'd,
+Why ay--Dumpling will do--put me in Mind of Dumpling
+anon, but not a Word more at present, and good Reason
+why, Dinner was coming in. So they past the rest of
+the Meal with great Silence and Application, and no
+doubt dined well. Far otherwise was it with me that
+Day: I remember to my Sorrow, I had a Hogs Maw,
+without Salt or Mustard; having at that Time, Credit
+with the Pork-Woman, but not with the Chandler: Times
+are since mended, _Amen_ to the Continuance!
+
+The D----n, having eat and drank plentifully, began
+his usual Pleasantries, and made the Bookseller
+measure his Ears with his Mouth; nay, burst his Sides
+with Laughter; however, he found Interval enough to
+remind the D----n of Dumpling, who asked him if he had
+a quick Hand at Writing: he excused himself, being
+naturally as Lazy as the other was Indolent, so they
+contrived to ease themselves by sending for a Hackney
+Writer out of _Temple Lane_ to be the D--'s
+_Amanuensis_, while he and his new Acquaintance
+crack'd t'other Bottle.
+
+This Account may be depended upon, because I had it
+from the Man himself, who scorns to tell a Lye.
+
+To be short, my Friend had the worst of it, being kept
+to hard Writing, without Drinking (Churls that they
+were) about three Hours; in which Time the
+Dissertation was finished, that is to say, from Page
+1. to Page 25. the rest might probably be done at some
+other leisure Time, to fill up the Chinks, but of that
+he knows nothing; sufficient is it that the D----n was
+the Author. Proceed we now to the other Discoveries,
+by drawing the Veil from before the Book it self.

+
+                    to the
+                  DISSERTATION
+
+                      on
+                  _DUMPLING_.
+
+
+I Shall begin with his Motto, which says, _What is
+better than a Pudding?_ The Body owns its Power, the
+Mind, its Delicacy; it will give Youth to grey Hairs,
+and Life to the most Desponding: Therefore are Pudding
+Eaters of great Use in State Affairs.
+
+This Quotation is of a Piece with his Motto to the
+Tale of a Tub, and other Writings; altogether
+Fictitious and Drole: he adds to the Jest, by putting
+an Air of Authority or genuine Quotation from some
+great Author; when alas! the whole is mere Farce and
+Invention.
+
+The Dedication is one continued Sneer upon Authors,
+and their Patrons, and seems to carry a Glance of
+Derision towards Men of Quality in General; by setting
+a Cook above them, as a more useful Member in a body
+Politick. Some will have this _Braund_, to be Sir
+****, others Sir ****, others Sir ****; but I take it
+to be more Railery than Mystery, and that Mr.
+_Braund_, at the _Rummer_ in _Queen-street_, is the
+Person; who having pleas'd the Author in two or three
+Entertainments, he, with a View truly _Epicurean_,
+constitutes him his _Mæcenas_; as being more agreeable
+to him than a whole Circle of Stars and Garters, of
+what Colour or Denomination soever.
+
+In his Tale of a Tub, he has a fling at Dependance,
+and Attendance, where he talks of a Body worn out with
+Poxes ill cured, and Shooes with Dependance, and
+Attendance. Not having the Book by me, I am forced to
+quote at Random, but I hope the courteous Reader will
+bear me out. He complains of it again in this
+Treatise, and makes a Complement to Mr. _Austin_, Mr.
+_Braund_'s late Servant; who keeps the _Braund_'s Head
+in _New Bond-street_, near _Hanover-Square_; a House
+of great Elegance, and where he used frequently to
+dine.
+
+The Distinction of _Brand_, _Braund_, and _Barnes_, is
+a Banter on Criticks, and Genealogists, who make such
+a Pother about the Orthography of Names and Things,
+that many Times, three Parts in four of a Folio
+Treatise, is taken up in ascertaining the Propriety of
+a Syllable, by which Means the Reader is left
+undetermined; having nothing but the various Readings
+on a single Word, and that probably, of small
+Importance.
+
+I heartily wish some of these Glossographists would
+oblige the World with a Folio Treatise or two, on the
+Word Rabbet: We shall then know whether it is to be
+spelt with an _e_, or an _i_. For, to the Shame of the
+_English_ Tongue and this learned Age, our most
+eminent Physicians, Surgeons, Anatomists and Men
+Midwives, have all been to seek in this Affair.
+
+  St. _André_,    }
+  _Howard_,       } Spell it
+  _Braithwaite_,  } with
+  _Ahlers_ and    } an _e_.

+  _Douglas_       }
+   and the        } Spell it
+   Gentleman who  } with
+   calls himself  } an _i_.
+  _Gulliver_,     }
+
+And some of these great Wits, have such short
+Memories, that they spell it both Ways in one and the
+same Page.
+
+The Master-Key to this Mystery, is the Explanation of
+its Terms; for Example, by _Dumpling_ is meant a
+Place, or any other Reward or Encouragement.
+A _Pudding_ signifies a P----t, and sometimes a
+C----tee. A _Dumpling Eater_, is a Dependant on the
+Court, or, in a Word, any one who will rather pocket
+an Affront than be angry at a Tip in Time. A _Cook_ is
+a Minister of State. The _Epicurean_ and _Peripatetic_
+Sects, are the two Parties of _Whigg_ and _Tory_, who
+both are greedy enough of Dumpling.
+
+The Author cannot forbear his old Sneer upon
+Foreigners, but says, in his 1st Page, "That finding
+it a Land of Plenty, they wisely resolved never to go
+home again," and in his 2d, "Nay, so zealous are they
+in the Cause of _Bacchus_, that one of the Chief among
+them, made a Vow never to say his Prayers till he has
+a Tavern of his own in every Street in _London_, and
+in every Market-Town in _England_:" If he does not
+mean Sir J---- T---- I know not who he means.
+
+By the Invention of _Eggs_, Page 4. is meant
+Perquisites. "He cannot conclude a Paragraph in his
+5th _Page_, without owning he received that important
+Part of the History of Pudding, from old Mr.
+_Lawrence_ of _Wilsden Green_, the greatest Antiquary
+of the present Age."
+
+This old _Lawrence_ is a great Favourite of the D--s;
+he is a facetious farmer, of above eighty Years of
+Age, now living at _Wilsden Green_, near _Kilburn_ in
+_Middlesex_, the most rural Place I ever saw: exactly
+like the Wilds of _Ireland_. It was here the
+D--n often retired _incog._ to amuse himself with the
+Simplicity of the Place and People; where he got
+together all that Rigmayroll of Childrens talk, which
+composes his _Namby Pamby_. Old _Lawrence_ told me,
+the D--n has sate several Hours together to see the
+Children play, with the greatest Pleasure in Life: The
+rest he learned from the old Nurses thereabouts, of
+which there are a great many, with whom he would go
+and smoke a Pipe frequently, and cordially; not in
+his Clergyman's Habit, but in a black Suit of Cloth
+Clothes, and without a Rose in his Hat: Which made
+them conclude him to be a Presbyterian Parson.
+
+This Mention of old _Lawrence_, is in Ridicule to a
+certain great Artist, who wrote a Treatise upon the
+Word _Connoisseur_ (or a Knower) and confesses himself
+to have been many Years at a loss for a Word to
+express the Action of Knowing, till the great Mr.
+_Prior_ gave him Ease, by furnishing him with the Word
+_Connoissance_. Our D--n had drawn a Drole, Parallel
+to this, _viz._ _Boudineur_, a Pudding Pyeman; and
+_Boudinance_, the making of Pudding Pies: But several
+Men of Quality begging it off, it was, at their
+Request, scratch'd out, but my Friend, the
+_Amanuensis_, remembers particularly its being
+originally inserted.
+
+If the Reader should ask, Who is that K-- _John_
+mentioned in the fourth Page, and which I ought to
+have taken in its Place. I beg leave to inform him,
+that by K. _John_ is meant the late Q. ----, with whom
+the D-- of _M----_ was many Years in such great
+Favour, that he was nick named K. _John_; it was in
+that Part of the Q--'s Reign, that Sir _John_ Pudding,
+by whom is meant **** _you know who_, came in Favour;
+it is true, the Name is odd, and seems to carry an Air
+of Ridicule with it, but the Character given him by
+this allegorical Writer, is that of an able Statesman,
+and an honest Man.
+
+And here, begging Mr. D--n's Pardon, I cannot but
+think his Wit has out run his Judgment; for he puts
+the Cart before the Horse, and begins at the latter
+Part of Sir **** Administration: But this might be
+owing to too plentiful a Dinner, and too much of the
+Creature. Be that as it will, I must follow my Copy,
+and explain it as it lies. Proceed we therefore to the
+Dissertation, _Page 6._
+
+"But what rais'd our Hero most in the Esteem of this
+Pudding-eating Monarch, was his second Edition of
+Pudding, he being the first that ever invented the Art
+of broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King's liking (who had a mortal
+Aversion to cold Pudding) that he thereupon instituted
+him Knight of the Gridiron, and gave him a Gridiron of
+Gold, the Ensign of that Order; which he always wore
+as a Mark of his Sovereign's Favour."
+
+If this does not mean the late Revival of an ancient
+Order of Knighthood, I never will unriddle Mystery
+more: To prove which, we need but cross over to the
+next Page, where he tells us, "Sir _John_ had always a
+Squire, who followed him, bearing a huge Pair of
+Spectacles to saddle his Honour's Nose." _Diss.
+Page 7._
+
+After this, he very severely runs upon those would-be
+Statesmen, who put themselves in Competition with his
+Favourite, Sir ****, with whom he became exceeding
+intimate, and almost inseperable, all the Time he was
+in _England_.
+
+The Story of the Kit Cat Club, _Dick Estcourt_, and
+_Jacob Tonson_, is a mere Digression; and nothing more
+to the Purpose, than that we may imagine it came
+uppermost. He returns to his Subject in his 9th
+_Page_.
+
+"Now it was Sir _John_'s Method, every _Sunday_
+Morning, to give the Courtiers a Breakfast; which
+Breakfast was every Man his Dumpling, and Cup of Wine:
+For you must know, he was Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at
+the same Time."
+
+The Breakfast is Sir *** Levee, the Yeomanship of the
+Wine-Cellar, is the ***.
+
+The Author of the Dissertation, is a very bad
+Chronologist; for at _Page_ 10. we are obliged to go
+back to the former Reign, where we shall find the
+lubberly Abbots (_i.e._) the High Church Priests,
+misrepresenting Sir _John_'s Actions, and never let
+the Q---- alone, till poor Sir _John_ was discarded.
+
+"This was a great Eye-sore, and Heart-burning to some
+lubberly Abbots, who lounged about the Court; they
+took it in great Dudgeon they were not invited, and
+stuck so close to his Skirts, that they never rested
+till they outed him. They told the King, who was
+naturally very hasty, that Sir _John_, made-away with
+his Wine, and feasted his _Paramours_ at his Expence;
+and not only so, but they were forming a Design
+against his Life, which they in Conscience ought to
+discover: That Sir _John_ was not only an Heretic, but
+an Heathen; nay, worse, they fear'd he was a Witch,
+and that he had bewitch'd his Majesty into that
+unaccountable Fondness for a _Pudding-Maker_. They
+assured the King, that on a _Sunday_ Morning, instead
+of being at Mattins, he and his Trigrimates got
+together hum jum, all snug, and perform'd many hellish
+and diabolical Ceremonies. In short, they made the
+King believe that the Moon was made of Green-Cheese:
+And to shew how the Innocent may be bely'd, and the
+best Intentions misrepresented, they told the King,
+That he and his Associates offered Sacrifices to
+_Ceres_: When, alas, it was only the Dumplings they
+eat.
+
+"The Butter which was melted and poured over them,
+these vile Miscreants, called _Libations_: And the
+friendly Compotations of our Dumpling Eaters, were
+called _Bacchanalian Rites_. Two or three among them
+being sweet tooth'd, would strew a little Sugar over
+their Dumplings; this was represented as an
+_Heathenish Offering_. In short, not one Action of
+theirs, but which these rascally Abbots made criminal,
+and never let the King alone till Sir _John_ was
+discarded; not but the King did it with the greatest
+Reluctance; but they made it a religious Concern, and
+he could not get off on't." _Diss. pag._ 10.
+
+All the World knows that the _Tory_ Ministry got
+uppermost, for the four last Years of the Queen's
+Reign, and by their unaccountable Management, teaz'd
+that good Lady out of her Life: Which occasion'd the
+D--n in his eleventh Page to say; "Then too late he
+saw his Error; then he lamented the Loss of Sir
+_John_; and in his latest Moments, would cry out, Oh!
+that I had never parted from my dear _Jack-Pudding_!
+Would I had never left off Pudding and Dumpling! then
+I had never been thus basely poison'd! never thus
+treacherously sent out of the World!----Thus did this
+good King lament: But alas! to no purpose, the Priest
+had given him his Bane, and Complaints were
+ineffectual."
+
+This alludes to Sir **** Imprisonment and Disgrace in
+the Year ---- Nay, so barefaced is the D--n in his
+Allegory, that he tells us, in his 12th Page,
+_Norfolk_ was his Asylum. This is as plain as the Nose
+on a Man's Face! The subsequent Pages are an exact
+Description of the Ingratitude of Courtiers; and his
+Fable of the _Court Pudding_, Page 13. is the best
+Part of the whole Dissertation.
+
+One would imagine the D--n had been at Sea, by his
+writing Catharping-Fashion, and dodging the Story
+sometimes Twenty-Years backwards, at other Times
+advancing as many; so that one knows not where to have
+him: for in his fifteenth Page, he returns to the
+present Scene of Action, and brings his Hero into the
+Favour of K---- _Harry_, _alias_ **** who being
+sensible of his Abilities, restores him into Favour,
+and makes Use of his admirable Skill in Cookery,
+_alias_ State Affairs.
+
+"Not one of the King's Cooks could make a Pudding like
+Sir _John_; nay, though he made a Pudding before their
+Eyes, yet they, out of the very same Materials, could
+not do the like: Which made his old Friends, the
+Monks, attribute it to Witchcraft and it was currently
+reported the Devil was his Helper. But good King
+_Harry_ was not to be fobb'd off so; the Pudding was
+good, it sat very well on his Stomach, and he eat very
+savourly, without the least Remorse of Conscience."
+_Diss. Page_ 15.
+
+This seems to hint at the Opposition Sir **** met with
+from the contrary Party, and how sensible the K----
+was, that they were all unable to hold the Staff in
+Competition with him.
+
+After this the D--n runs into a whimsical Description
+of his Heroes personal Virtues; but draws the Picture
+too much _Alla Carraccatura_, and is, in my Opinion,
+not only a little too familiar, but wide of his
+Subject. For begging his Deanship's Pardon, he
+mightily betrays his Judgment, when he says, Sir
+_John_ was no very great Scholar, whereas all Men of
+Learning allow him to be a most excellent one; but as
+we may suppose he grew pretty warm by this Time with
+the Booksellers Wine, he got into his old Knack of
+Raillery, and begins to run upon all Mankind: In this
+Mood he falls upon _C---- J----n_, and Sir _R----
+Bl----re_, a pair of twin Poets, who suck'd one and
+the same Muse. After this he has a Fling at _Handel_,
+_Bononcini_ and _Attilio_, the Opera Composers; and a
+severe Sneer on the late High-Church Idol,
+_Sacheverel_. As for _Cluer_, the Printer, any Body
+that knows Music, or _Bow Church Yard_, needs no
+farther Information.
+
+And now he proceeds to a Digression, which is indeed
+the Dissertation it self; proving all Arts and
+Sciences to owe their Origin and Existence to
+_Pudding_ and _Dumpling_ (_i.e._) Encouragement. His
+_Hiatus_ in the 20th Page, I could, but dare not
+Decypher.
+
+In his 22nd Page, he lashes the Authors who oppose the
+Government; such as the _Craftsman_, _Occasional
+Writer_, and other Scribblers, past, present, and to
+come. _The Dumpling-Eaters Downfal_, is a Title of his
+own Imagination; I have run over all _Wilford_'s
+Catalogues, and see no Mention made of such a Book:
+All that Paragraph therefore is a mere Piece of
+Rablaiscism.
+
+In his 23d Page, he has another confounded Fling at
+Foreigners; and after having determinately dubb'd his
+Hero, the Prince of Statesmen, he concludes his
+Dissertation with a Mess of Drollery, and goes off in
+a Laugh.
+
+In a Word, the whole Dissertation seems calculated to
+ingratiate the D--n in Sir **** Favour; he draws the
+Picture of an able and an honest Minister, painful in
+his Countries Service, and beloved by his Prince; yet
+oftentimes misrepresented and bely'd: Nay, sometimes
+on the Brink of Ruin, but always Conqueror. The Fears,
+the Jealousies, the Misrepresentations of an enraged
+and disappointed Party, give him no small Uneasiness
+to see the Ingratitude of some Men, the Folly of
+others, who shall believe black to be white, because
+prejudiced and designing Knaves alarm 'em with false
+Fears. We see every Action misconstrued, and Evil made
+out of Good; but as the best Persons and Things are
+subject to Scandal and Ridicule; so have they the
+Pleasure of Triumphing in the Truth, which always will
+prevail.
+
+I take the Allegory of this Dissertation to be partly
+Historical, partly Prophetical; the D--n seeming to
+have carried his View, not only to the present, but
+even, succeeding Times. He sets his Hero down at last
+in Peace, Plenty, and a happy Retirement, not
+unrelented by his Prince; his Honesty apparent, his
+Enemies baffled and confounded, and his Measures made
+the Standard of good Government; and a Pattern for all
+just Ministers to follow.
+
+Thus, gentle Reader, have I, at the Expence of these
+poor Brains, crack'd this thick Shell, and given thee
+the Kernel. If any should object, and say this
+Exposition is a Contradiction to the D--n's
+Principles; I assure such Objector, that the D--n is
+an errant _Whig_ by Education, and Choice: He may
+indeed cajole the _Tories_ with a Belief that he is of
+their Party; but it is all a Joke, he is a _Whig_, and
+I know him to be so; Nay more, I can prove it, and
+defy him to contradict me; did he not just after his
+Arrival and Promotion in _Ireland_, writing to one of
+his intimate Friends in _London_, conclude his Letter
+in this Manner?
+
+_Thus Dear **** from all that has occur'd, you must
+conclude me a _Tory_ in every Thing, but my Principle,
+which is yet as unmoved, as, that I am,_
+
+  Yours, _&c._
+
+This Letter, his Tale of a Tub, and in a Word, all his
+Invectives against Enthusiasm and Priestcraft, plainly
+prove him to be no _Tory_; and if his Intimacy, not
+only with Sir **** himself, but most of the prime Men
+in the Ministry, cannot prove him a _Whig_, I have no
+more to say.

+_Advertisement to the _Curious_._
+
+
+The Author is Night and Day at Work (in order to get
+published before the _Spaniards_ have raised the Siege
+of _Gibraltar_) a Treatise, entituled, _Truth brought
+to light, _or_ D--n _S----t_'s _Wilsden_ Prophecy
+unfolded_; being a full Explanation of a Prophetical
+Poem, called _Namby Pamby_, which, by most People,
+is taken for a Banter on an eminent Poet, now in
+_Ireland_; when in Fact, it is a true Narrative of the
+Siege of _Gibraltar_, the Defeat of the _Spaniards_,
+and Success of the _British_ Arms. The Author doubts
+not in this Attempt to give manifest Proof of his
+Abilities, and make it apparent to all Mankind, that
+he can see as clearly through a Milstone, as any other
+Person can through the best Optic _Martial_ or
+_Scarlet_ ever made; and that there is more in many
+Things, not taken Notice of, than the Generality of
+People are aware of.

+NOTES TO _DUMPLING_
+
+
+Pp. [ii].2-[iii].25. The information on Brand, Braund, and Marsh is
+confirmed by records in the Willesdon Public Library and by Lyson's
+_County of Middlesex_.
+
+P.2.30-31. Carey also attacks the Freemasons and Gormogons in _Poems_,
+ed. Wood, p. 118.
+
+P.5.3. Old Mr. Lawrence is mentioned several times (see particularly
+_Key_, pp. 16-17). There was a farmer Lawrence of 70 in Willesdon at the
+time, but I have found no direct connection with an antiquary, with
+Swift's Namby Pamby talk (see _OED_ under _Namby Pamby_) and his
+_Wilsden Prophecy_; nor with Jonathan Richardson (see note to _Key_,
+p. 17). On another level, the laziness attributed to Swift (_Key_,
+p. viii) and the gridiron here connected with the Kit Cat club are both
+commonly associated with Saint Lawrence.
+
+P.6.11-12. "Bull and Mouth" refers to a tavern known as the Boulogne
+Mouth (John Timbs, _Clubs and Club Life in London_ [London, 1872],
+p. 529).
+
+Pp.6.13-9.6. Knight of the Gridiron: Walpole was a member of the Kit
+Cat club, which originally met at the pie shop of Christopher Cat in
+Shire Lane. The "Second Edition" probably refers to the fact that the
+Order of the Bath was reintroduced for Walpole's benefit in June 1724.
+(See also _Key_, p. 19.) There is intentional confusion with Estcourt,
+who as providore of the Beefsteak club wore about his neck a small
+gridiron of silver and was made a Knight of Saint Lawrence. The Knights
+of the Toast were an associated group. The gridiron is a symbol both of
+gormandizing and of the roasting of Saint Lawrence.
+
+P.9.9. J[acob] T[onson], the publisher, founded the Kit Cat club which
+also met at Tonson's home in Barns Elms, and in Hampstead (which was
+only a few miles northeast of Willesdon).
+
+P.11.15-18. King John is reputed either to have been poisoned or to
+have died from overeating at Swineshead Abbey (18-19 October 1216).
+
+Pp.14.15-16.24. See also _Key_, pp. 25-26. King Harry, at this point,
+would appear to be George I, with either Walpole or Marlborough as Sir
+John Pudding. Nevertheless, there are carefully interpolated overtones
+regarding Falstaff and Hal. "One knows not where to have him" (_Key_,
+p. 25) is one of several apt Shakespearian allusions in the work.
+
+Pp.17.25-18.26. In _Dumpling_, pp. 17-18, and _Key_, pp. 26-27, the
+references are to the writers Sir R[ichard] B[lackmore] and C[harles]
+J[ohnso]n; opera in the hands of Nicolino, Senesino, Handel, Buononcini
+and Attilio; the high-church idol, Sacheverel (d. 1724); the _Craftsman_
+(founded to attack Walpole) and the _Occasional Writer_ (Bolingbroke's 4
+pamphlets of Jan/Feb. 1727); and finally the discredited music printer,
+Cluer. Carey's relationship to opera was ambivalent, but in _Mocking is
+Catching_ he strongly attacked Senesino.
+
+P.24.5-29. Matt. Prior (d. 1721), despite his aristocratic pretensions,
+had been earlier associated with the Rummer Tavern. He was a member of
+the Kit Cat club until he became a Tory for Dumpling.
+
+P.[32].28. E[dmund] C[url] of the "ADVERTISEMENT" was a publisher
+notorious for stealing material. Carey complained frequently of his
+writings having been "fathered" by others.
+
+
+NOTES TO THE _KEY_
+
+Title Page. "J. W.": Dr. Wood suggests this is the fictitious John
+Walton of the "Proposals" at the end of _Dumpling_. My own preference is
+for Dr. John Woodward, the famous antiquarian and physician. As late as
+Fielding's "Dedication" to _Shamela_, Woodward was being mocked for
+suggesting that the "Gluttony [which] is owing to the great
+Multiplication of Pastry-Cooks in the City" has "Led to the Subversion
+of Government...." (See Woodward's _The State of Physick and of
+Diseases_ [London, 1718], pp. 194-196 and 200-201. Compare this with
+_Dumpling_, pp. 22-23, on the _Dumpling-Eaters Downfall_, also pp. 9 and
+16, and _Key_, p. 17.) Swift deals with "repletion" in _Gulliver's
+Travels_ (ed. Herbert Davis [Oxford, 1941], pp. 253-254 and 262).
+
+P.iii.1-22. L[intot] was Pope's publisher. B[ooth], W[ilks], and
+C[ibber] were the managers of Drury Lane. _The London Stage, Part 2:
+1700-1729_, ed. Emmett L. Avery (Carbondale, Ill., 1960), shows that
+J. M. Smythe's _Rival Modes_ was first played 27 January 1727 at Drury
+Lane; John Thurmond's pantomime _The Miser: Or Wagner and Abericock_ was
+first played 30 December 1726 at Drury Lane; and Lun's pantomimes
+_Harlequin a Sorcerer: With The Loves of Pluto and Proserpine_ and _The
+Rape of Proserpine_ were first played at the Lincoln's Inn Fields
+Theatre 21 January 1725 and 13 February 1727 respectively.
+
+P.iv.16-25. The preface ends on a similar note to Carey's _Of Stage
+Tyrants_ (p. 108).
+
+P.[v].3-4. To "it never wants a Father," compare _Of Stage Tyrants_
+(p. 107).
+
+P.vi.1-9. Swift's "old Bookseller" had been T[ooke] (though there may
+be overtones here regarding Tonson). His new publisher was [Benjamin]
+M[otte].
+
+Pp.viii.24-ix.14. The "Hackney Writer out of _Temple Lane_" could very
+well be Carey. (See Carey's _Records of Love_ [London, 1710], pp. 175,
+93, and 104.)
+
+P.13.6-9. Carey's poem "The Plague of Dependence" cautions: "You may
+dance out your shoes in attendance;/ [while you] .... wait for a court
+dependence" (p. 90).
+
+Pp.14.7-15.2. Here Carey cleverly ties in Swift's surgeon Gulliver,
+through the "Pancake of Rabbets" (_Dumpling_, p. 17), with the topical
+and notorious case of Mary Tofts, who in November 1726 was "delivered"
+of fifteen rabbits. All the people mentioned were connected with this
+case. Nathaniel St. André was the surgeon and anatomist to the King,
+and Cyriacus Ahlers the King's private surgeon; John Howard was the
+apothecary. The imposture was finally brought to light before Sir
+Richard Manningham (the famous man-midwife who probably influenced
+Sterne) and Dr. James Douglas. Among the many contemporary pamphlets on
+this subject is one by Thomas Braithwaite.
+
+Pp.16.14-17.13. The following is a very revealing quotation from
+records in the Willesdon Public Library under F. A. Wood [not Dr. F. T.
+Wood], _Willesdon_ I, 99: "These nurse children must have been sent from
+workhouses round Willesdon ... the parish must have become a baby
+farm.... The large number of deaths between 1702 and 1727 ought to have
+caused some official enquiry, which probably did take place, as after
+1727 they soon ceased altogether."
+
+P.17.14-22. See Jonathan Richardson, _Works_, Strawberry Hill Press
+(London, 1792), pp. 198-199: "...had the honour of a letter ... the term
+_Connoisance_ was used.... I must not conceal the name it was Mr.
+Prior." Richardson, a frequent visitor to Hampstead, painted both Prior
+and Pope. His essay on "The Connoisseur" was frequently published.
+
+P.18.6-22. See also p. 24 and _passim_. Robert Walpole was born and
+died at Houghton in Norfolk; he was helped up by Marlborough but lost
+power with him under the Tories. Walpole went to the Tower for five
+months in 1712 before going to his home county, where Defoe calls him
+"King Walpole in Norfolk."
+
+P.24.19-20. The "Fable of the _Court Pudding_" (see also _Dumpling_,
+pp. 13-14) ties together both meanings of the scatological Latin-English
+pun on the title page of _Dumpling_.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h4><a name = "intro" id = "intro">INTRODUCTION</a></h4>
+
+<p><i>A Learned Dissertation on Dumpling</i> and its <i>Key</i>
+(<i>Pudding and Dumpling Burnt to Pot</i>) are typical satiric pamphlets
+which grew out of the political in-fighting of the first half of the
+eighteenth century. The pamphlets are distinguished by the fact that the
+author’s level of imagination and writing makes them delightful reading
+even today. In <i>Dumpling</i> the author displays a considerable
+knowledge of cooks and cookery in London; by insinuating that to love
+dumpling is to love corruption, he effectively and amusingly achieves
+satiric indirection against a number of political and social targets,
+including Walpole. The <i>Key</i> is in many ways a separate pamphlet in
+which Swift is the central figure under attack after his two secret
+visits to Walpole during 1726. <i>Dumpling</i> had a long life for an
+eighteenth-century pamphlet and was published as late as 1770. Dr.
+F.&nbsp;T. Wood has even suggested that it may have influenced Lamb’s
+<i>Dissertation on Roast Pig</i>;<a class = "tag" name = "tag1" id =
+"tag1" href = "#note1">1</a> readers might wish to test this for
+themselves.</p>
+
+<p><i>Dumpling</i> and its <i>Key</i> were first claimed for Henry Carey
+by Dr. Wood (<ins class = "correction" title = "no space">pp.
+442-447</ins>). Carey (1687-1743) is generally thought to have been an
+illegitimate scion of the powerful Savile family,<a class = "tag" name =
+"tag2" id = "tag2" href = "#note2">2</a> with whose name he christened
+three of his sons. He was perhaps best known as a writer of songs.
+&ldquo;Sally in our Alley&rdquo; is a classic, and he has even a tenuous claim to
+the authorship of the English national anthem. Carey’s <i>Dramatic
+Works</i> appeared in 1743, the year in which he met his death, almost
+certainly by his own hand. Several of the plays were successful and
+particular reference should be made to the burlesques
+<i>Chrononhotonthologos</i> (1734) and <i>The Dragon of Wantley</i>
+(1737). The latter even outran the performances of <i>The Beggar’s
+Opera</i> in its first year. Not only do these plays show Carey’s
+satiric bent, but so also do a considerable number of his poems. In
+1713, 1720, and 1729 Carey published three different collections of his
+poetry, each entitled <i>Poems on Several Occasions</i>. Although a few
+of the poems were repeated, almost always revised, each edition is very
+much a different collection. An edition was brought out in this century
+by Dr. Wood.<a class = "tag" name = "tag3" id = "tag3" href =
+"#note3">3</a></p>
+
+<span class = "pagenum">ii</span>
+<!-- png 04 -->
+<p>I am strongly inclined to support Carey’s claim to the authorship of
+<i>Dumpling</i> and its <i>Key</i> despite Dr. E.&nbsp;L. Oldfield’s
+more recent attempt to invalidate it.<a class = "tag" name = "tag4" id =
+"tag4" href = "#note4">4</a> There were at least ten editions of
+<i>Dumpling</i> in the eighteenth century. The first seven (1726-27)
+appeared during Carey’s life, and these (I&nbsp;have seen all but the
+third) contain the <i>Namby Pamby</i> verses which later appeared under
+Carey’s own name in his enlarged <i>Poems on Several Occasions</i>
+(1729). There was also a &ldquo;sixth edition&rdquo; of <i>Dumpling</i> (really the
+eighth extant edition) in Carey’s own name published &ldquo;for T.&nbsp;Read,
+in Dogwell-Court, White-Friars, Fleet-Street, MDCCXLIV.&rdquo; Though <i>Namby
+Pamby</i> was not added to the first edition of the <i>Key</i>, it
+appears in the second edition. Both editions were published by Mrs.
+Dodd, of whom Dr. Oldfield says: she &ldquo;seems to have been a neighbour,
+and known to Carey&rdquo; (p.&nbsp;375). Dr. Wood indicates that &ldquo;at the foot
+of a folio sheet containing Carey’s song <i>Mocking is Catching</i>,
+published in 1726, the sixth edition of <i>A&nbsp;Learned Dissertation
+on Dumpling</i> is advertised as having been lately published&rdquo;
+(p.&nbsp;442). Dr. Wood adds in a footnote that this song &ldquo;appeared in
+<i>The Musical Century</i> (1740) under the title <i>A&nbsp;Sorrowful
+Lamentation for the Loss of a Man and No Man</i>.&rdquo; Even more striking
+would seem to be the fact that although there are ninety-one entries in
+his <i>Poems</i> (1729), Carey has placed the <i>Sorrowful
+Lamentation</i> directly adjacent to <i>Namby Pamby</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Wood maintains of <i>Dumpling</i> that &ldquo;the general style bears a
+close resemblance to that of the prefaces to Carey’s plays and
+collections of poetry&rdquo; (p.&nbsp;443). I&nbsp;should like strongly to
+support his statement. Dr. Oldfield says that an inviolable regard for
+decency &ldquo;is nowhere contradicted in Carey’s
+works&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. Yet the pamphlets, besides being
+palpably Whiggish, are larded <i>passim</i> with vulgarity of the
+‘Close-Stool’ and ‘Clyster’ variety&rdquo; (p.&nbsp;376). The reader need look
+no further than <i>Namby Pamby</i> to see that Carey satisfies Northrop
+Frye’s very proper observation: &ldquo;Genius seems to have led practically
+every great satirist to become what the world calls obscene.&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>As for the pamphlets being &ldquo;palpably Whiggish,&rdquo; the reader will not
+look far into the allegory before he realizes that one of the central
+attacks is against those well-known Whigs Walpole and Marlborough and
+their appetite for Dumpling (i.e.,
+<span class = "pagenum">iii</span>
+<!-- png 05 -->
+bribery and perquisites). Furthermore, the attack on Swift, which is
+central to the <i>Key</i>, is based on the very real fear that the
+Dean’s two recent private interviews with Walpole might presage a return
+to that leader’s Whig party in exchange for Dumpling. The last pages of
+the <i>Key</i> (pp.&nbsp;28-30) deal with the possibility of an
+accommodation between Swift and Walpole which is, I&nbsp;feel sure, the
+main target of attack. In his poems (<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood,
+pp.&nbsp;83, 86, 88, and <i>passim</i>) Carey claims to stand between
+Whig and Tory, just as he does in the pamphlets (<i>Dumpling</i>,
+p.&nbsp;1, and <i>Key</i>, p.&nbsp;15 and <i>passim</i>).</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Wood perceptively points to two parallels between <i>Dumpling</i>
+and the satiric <i>Of Stage Tyrants</i> (1735) which Carey openly
+addressed to the Earl of Chesterfield. <i>Dumpling’s</i> &ldquo;O&nbsp;Braund,
+my Patron! my Pleasure! my Pride&rdquo; (p.&nbsp;[ii]) becomes:
+&ldquo;O&nbsp;Chesterfield, my patron and my pride&rdquo; (<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood,
+p.&nbsp;104). The passage which follows, dealing with &ldquo;all the
+Monkey-Tricks of Rival Harlequins&rdquo; (<i>Dumpling</i>, p.&nbsp;[ii]),
+becomes:</p>
+
+<div class = "verse">
+<p>Prefer pure nature and the simple scene</p>
+<p>To all the monkey tricks of Harlequin</p>
+<p class = "center">
+(<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, p. 106).</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Even more striking is a passage in the <i>Key</i>: &ldquo;Mr. B[ooth] had
+spoken to Mr. W[ilks] to speak to Mr. C[ibber] .&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&rdquo;
+(p.&nbsp;111). This is similar to the following lines in <i>Stage
+Tyrants</i>:</p>
+
+<div class = "verse">
+<p>Booth ever shew’d me friendship and respect,</p>
+<p>And Wilks would rather forward than reject.</p>
+<p>Ev’n Cibber, terror to the scribbling crew,</p>
+<p>Would oft solicit me for something new</p>
+<p class = "center">
+(<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, p. 104).</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>What is particularly impressive is that Carey not only refers to the
+three managers of Drury Lane but mentions them in the same order and as
+bearing the same relationship to himself. Several highly topical
+theatrical allusions in the pamphlets, by which the works can be dated,
+accord closely to the life, views, and writings of Carey. All three
+managers of Drury Lane were subscribers to Carey’s <i>Poems on Several
+Occasions</i> (1729), which
+<span class = "pagenum">iv</span>
+<!-- png 06 -->
+was dedicated to the Countess of Burlington, who (like the Earl of
+Chesterfield) was closely related to Carey’s putative family. In the
+<i>Poems</i> these people and many others (including Pope) would have
+seen <i>Namby Pamby</i> under Carey’s name and drawn the obvious
+conclusion that <i>Namby Pamby</i>, <i>Dumpling</i> and the <i>Key</i>
+were by the same author.</p>
+
+<p>We have already seen how closely <i>Dumpling</i> and <i>Stage
+Tyrants</i> can be tied together; the reader can compare for himself
+that part of <i>Namby Pamby</i> containing &ldquo;So the Nurses get by
+Heart&nbsp;/ Namby Pamby’s Little Rhymes,&rdquo; with the passage from the
+<i>Key</i>: &ldquo;It was here the D[ean] .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. got together all his
+Namby Pamby .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. from the old Nurses thereabouts&rdquo;
+(<i>Key</i>, pp.&nbsp;16-17).</p>
+
+<p>There exists in the Bodleian an early copy of <i>Namby Pamby</i>
+(1725?) &ldquo;By Capt. Gordon, Author of the Apology for Parson Alberony and
+the Humorist.&rdquo; The joke here is surely in not only letting the Whig
+Gordon attack the Whig Ambrose Phillips but then, also by association,
+connecting Gordon’s name with the attack on Walpole and Marlborough.
+There is a parallel to this: Carey’s &ldquo;Lilliputian Ode on Their Majesties
+Succession&rdquo; appeared in <i>Poems</i> (1729), separated from the pieces
+previously mentioned by only one short patriotic stanza. Yet in the
+Huntington Library there is an almost identical version (1727) which was
+ostensibly published by Swift.</p>
+
+<p>The first six editions of <i>Dumpling</i> appeared in 1726 and both
+editions of the <i>Key</i> are dated 1727. Apart from the dates on the
+title page, this can be verified externally by the initial entries in
+Wilford’s <i>Monthly Catalogue</i> (1723-30) of February 1726 and April
+1727 respectively. Swift’s first return visit to England (in March 1726
+after twelve years) was subsequent to the publication of
+<i>Dumpling</i>; his second visit was in the same month as the
+publication of the <i>Key</i>, which assigns him <i>ex post facto</i>
+the authorship &ldquo;from Page 1. to Page 25.&rdquo; of <i>Dumpling</i>
+(<i>Key</i>, p.&nbsp;ix).</p>
+
+<p>Sir John Pudding and his Dumpling are manipulated throughout these
+pamphlets to carry a multiplicity of meaning which brings them almost as
+close to symbolism as they are to the allegory that Carey claims to be
+writing (<i>Key</i>, pp.&nbsp;18, 24 and 29). Collation of
+<i>Dumpling</i> with its <i>Key</i> clearly reveals (with due allowance
+for satiric arabesque) a&nbsp;series of allegories moving backwards and
+forwards through history. At various
+<span class = "pagenum">v</span>
+<!-- png 07 -->
+stages, Sir John Pudding (ostensibly Brawn [or John Brand], the famous
+cook of the Rummer in Queen Street who appears in Dr. King’s <i>Art of
+Cookery</i> [1708]), becomes identifiable with King John, Sir John
+Falstaff, Walpole, Marlborough, and even Queen Anne (for the change in
+sexes see <i>Key</i>, p.&nbsp;18). All of these enjoyed Dumpling, and
+their tastes are ostensibly approved while at the same time being
+heavily undercut with satiric indirection. Naturally enough, Walpole
+(although a Dumpling Eater) is treated with considerable circumspection.
+Carey has warned us that he is a bad chronologist (<i>Key</i>,
+p.&nbsp;21), and the Sir John Pudding (be he Walpole or Marlborough [d.
+1722]), who at the end of <i>Dumpling</i> is referred to as &ldquo;the Hero of
+this DUMPLEID,&rdquo; is for good reason spoken of in the past tense.</p>
+
+<p>The fable of Dumpling, in the true spirit of <i>lanx satura</i>,
+allows Carey to attack by indirection a complete spectrum of traditional
+eighteenth-century targets. Like the musician and the satirist that he
+is, he builds up to a magnificent crescendo (pp.&nbsp;19-24 of his
+&ldquo;Dumpleid&rdquo;) which results in one of the finest displays of sustained
+virtuosity in early eighteenth-century pamphlet writing.</p>
+
+<p>The notes which follow the texts point to a number of the
+contemporary allusions, but the reader will surely wish to recognize
+some of the references and the more delicate ironies for himself. As the
+author puts it on page 17 of <i>Dumpling</i>:</p>

+comprehended in good Eating and Drinking: And so readily were their
+Opinions embrac’d, that every Day produc’d many Proselytes; and their
+Numbers have from Age to Age increas’d prodigiously, insomuch that our
+whole Island is over-run with them, at present. Eating and Drinking are
+become so Customary among us that we seem to have entirely forgot, and
+laid aside the old Fashion of Fasting: Instead of having Wine sold at
+Apothecaries Shops, as formerly, every Street has two or three Taverns
+in it, least these Dumpling-Eaters should faint by the Way; nay, so
+zealous are they in the Cause of <i>Bacchus</i>, that one of the Chief
+among ’em has made a Vow never to say his Prayers ’till he has a Tavern
+of <i>his own</i> in every Street in <i>London</i>, and in every
+Market-Town in <i>England</i>. What may we then in Time expect? Since by
+insensible Degrees, their Society is become so numerous and formidable,
+that they are without Number; other Bodies have their Meetings, but
+where can the Dumpling-Eaters assemble? what Place large enough to
+contain ’em! The <i>Bank</i>, <i>India</i>, and <i>South-Sea</i>
+Companies have their General Courts, the <i>Free-Masons</i> and the

+the <i>Quakers</i> have their Yearly Meetings. And who would imagine any
+of these should be Dumpling-Eaters? But thus it is, the Dumpling-Eating
+Doctrine has so far prevailed among ’em, that they eat not only
+Dumplings, but <i>Puddings</i>, and those in no small Quantities.</p>
+
+<p>The Dumpling is indeed, of more antient Institution, and of
+<i>Foreign</i> Origin; but alas, what were those Dumplings? nothing but
+a few Lentils sodden together, moisten’d and cemented with a little
+seeth’d Fat, not much unlike our Gritt or Oatmeal Pudding; yet were they
+of such Esteem among the ancient <i>Romans</i>, that a Statue was
+erected to <i>Fulvius Agricola</i>, the first Inventor of these Lentil
+Dumplings. How unlike the Gratitude shewn by the Publick to our Modern
+Projectors!</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Romans</i>, tho’ our Conquerors, found themselves much
+out-done in Dumplings by our Fore-fathers; the <i>Roman</i> Dumplings
+were no more to compare to those made by the <i>Britons</i>, than a
+Stone-Dumpling is to a Marrow Pudding; tho’ indeed, the <i>British</i>
+Dumpling at that time, was little better than what we call a
+Stone-Dumpling, being no thing else but Flour and Water: But every
+Generation growing wiser and wiser, the
+<span class = "pagenum">(4)</span>
+<a name = "dumpling_page4" id = "dumpling_page4"> </a>

+Project was improv’d, and Dumpling grew to be Pudding: One Projector
+found Milk better than Water; another introduc’d Butter; some added
+Marrow, others Plumbs; and some found out the Use of Sugar; so that, to
+speak Truth, we know not where to fix the Genealogy or Chronology of any
+of these Pudding Projectors, to the Reproach of our Historians, who eat
+so much Pudding, yet have been so Ungrateful to the first Professors of
+this most noble Science, as not to find ’em a Place in History.</p>
+
+<p>The Invention of Eggs was merely accidental, two or three of which
+having casually roll’d from off a Shelf into a Pudding which a good Wife
+was making, she found herself under a Necessity either of throwing away
+her Pudding, or letting the Eggs remain, but concluding from the
+innocent Quality of the Eggs, that they would do no Hurt, if they did no
+Good. She wisely jumbl’d ’em all together, after having carefully pick’d
+out the Shells; the Consequence is easily imagined, the Pudding became a
+Pudding of Puddings; and the Use of Eggs from thence took its Date. The
+Woman was sent for to Court to make Puddings for King <i>John</i>, who
+then sway’d the Scepter; and gain’d such Favour, that she was the making
+of her whole Family. I&nbsp;cannot conclude

+this Paragraph without owning, I&nbsp;received this important Part of
+the History of Pudding from old Mr. <i>Lawrence</i> of
+<i>Wilsden-Green</i>, the greatest Antiquary of the present Age.</p>
+
+<p>From that Time the <i>English</i> became so famous for Puddings, that
+they are call’d Pudding-Eaters all over the World, to this Day.</p>
+
+<p>At her Demise, her Son was taken into Favour, and made the King’s
+chief Cook; and so great was his Fame for Puddings, that he was call’d
+<i>Jack Pudding</i> all over the Kingdom, tho’ in Truth, his real Name
+was <i>John <ins class = "authcorr" title = "corrected by author from ‘Barnes’">Brand</ins></i>, as by the Records of the Kitchen you will
+find: This <i>John <ins class = "authcorr" title = "corrected by author from ‘Barnes’">Brand</ins></i>, or <i>Jack-Pudding</i>, call him which
+you please, the <i>French</i> have it <i>Jean Boudin</i>, for his Fame
+had reached <i>France</i>, whose King would have given the World to have
+had our <i>Jack</i> for his Pudding-Maker. This <i>Jack Pudding</i>,
+I&nbsp;say, became yet a greater Favourite than his Mother, insomuch
+that he had the King’s Ear as well as his Mouth at Command; for the
+King, you must know, was a mighty Lover of Pudding; and <i>Jack</i>
+fitted him to a Hair, he knew how to make the most of a Pudding; no
+Pudding came amiss to him, he would make a Pudding

+out of a Flint-stone, comparatively speaking. It is needless to
+enumerate the many sorts of Pudding he made, such as Plain Pudding,
+Plumb Pudding, Marrow Pudding, Oatmeal Pudding, Carrot Pudding,
+Saucesage Pudding, Bread Pudding, Flower Pudding, Suet Pudding, and in
+short, every Pudding but Quaking Pudding, which was solely invented by,
+and took its Name from our Good Friends of the <i>Bull and Mouth</i>
+before mentioned, notwithstanding the many Pretenders to that
+Projection.</p>
+
+<p>But what rais’d our Hero most in the Esteem of this Pudding-eating
+Monarch, was his Second Edition of Pudding, he being the first that ever
+invented the Art of Broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King’s likeing, (who had a mortal Aversion to Cold
+Pudding,) that he thereupon instituted him Knight of the Gridiron, and
+gave him a Gridiron of Gold, the Ensign of that Order, which he always
+wore as a Mark of his Sovereign’s Favour; in short, <i>Jack Pudding</i>,
+or Sir <i>John</i>, grew to be all in all with good King <i>John</i>; he
+did nothing without him, they were Finger and Glove; and, if we may
+believe Tradition, our very good Friend had no small Hand in the
+<i>Magna Charta</i>. If so, how much are all <i>Englishmen</i> indebted

+to him? in what Repute ought the Order of the Gridiron to be, which was
+instituted to do Honour to this Wonderful Man? But alas! how soon is
+Merit forgot? how impudently do the Vulgar turn the most serious Things
+into Ridicule, and mock the most solemn Trophies of Honour? for now
+every Fool at a Fair, or Zany at a Mountebank’s Stage, is call’d <i>Jack
+Pudding</i>, has a Gridiron at his Back, and a great Pair of Spectacles
+at his Buttocks, to ridicule the most noble Order of the Gridiron. But
+their Spectacles is a most ungrateful Reflection on the Memory of that
+great Man, whose indefatigable Application to his Business, and deep
+Study in that occult Science, rendred him Poreblind; to remedy which
+Misfortune, he had always a ’Squire follow’d him, bearing a huge Pair of
+Spectacles to saddle his Honour’s Nose, and supply his much-lamented
+Defect of Sight. But whether such an Unhappiness did not deserve rather
+Pity than Ridicule, I&nbsp;leave to the Determination of all good
+Christians: I&nbsp;cannot but say, it raises my Indignation, when I see
+these Paunch-gutted Fellows usurping the Title and Atchievements of my
+dear Sir <i>John</i>, whose Memory I so much venerate, I&nbsp;cannot
+always contain my self. I&nbsp;remember, to my Cost, I&nbsp;once carry’d

+I&nbsp;tore the Gridiron from his Back, and the Spectacles from his
+A&mdash;e; for which I was Apprehended, carried to Pye-powder Court, and
+by that tremendous Bench, sentenc’d to most severe Pains and
+Penalties.</p>
+
+<p>This has indeed a little tam’d me, insomuch that I keep my Fingers to
+my self, but at the same time let my Tongue run like a Devil: Forbear

+Injustice.</p>
+
+<p>What Pity it is therefore, so noble an Order should be lost, or at
+least neglected. We have had no Account of the real Knights of the

+But to return to Sir <i>John</i>: The more his Wit engaged the King, the
+more his Grandeur alarm’d his Enemies, who encreas’d with his Honours.
+Not but the Courtiers caress’d him to a Man, as the first who had
+brought Dumpling-eating to Perfection. King <i>John</i> himself lov’d
+him entirely; being of <i>Cesar</i>’s Mind, that is, he had a natural
+Antipathy against Meagre, Herring-gutted Wretches; he lov’d only
+<i>Fat-headed Men, and such who slept o’ Nights</i>; and of such was his
+whole Court compos’d. Now it was Sir <i>John</i>’s Method, every
+<i>Sunday</i> Morning, to give the Courtiers a Breakfast, which
+Breakfast was every Man his Dumpling and Cup of Wine; for you must know,
+he
+<span class = "pagenum">(10)</span>

+was Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at the same time.</p>
+
+<p>This was a great Eye-sore and Heart-burning to some Lubberly Abbots
+who loung’d about the Court; they took it in great Dudgeon they were not
+Invited, and stuck so close to his Skirts, that they never rested ’till
+they Outed him. They told the King, who was naturally very Hasty, that
+Sir <i>John</i> made-away with his Wine, and feasted his Paramours at
+his Expence; and not only so, but that they were forming a Design
+against his Life, which they in Conscience ought to discover: That Sir
+<i>John</i> was not only an Heretic, but an Heathen; nay worse, they
+fear’d he was a Witch, and that he had bewitcht His Majesty into that
+unaccountable Fondness for a <i>Pudding-Maker</i>. They assur’d the
+King, That on a <i>Sunday</i> Morning, instead of being at Mattins, he
+and his Trigrimates got together Hum-jum, all snug, and perform’d many
+Hellish and Diabolical Ceremonies. In short, they made the King believe
+that the Moon was made of Green-Cheese: And to shew how the Innocent may
+be Bely’d, and the best Intentions misrepresented, they told the King,
+That He and his Associates offer’d Sacrifices to <i>Ceres</i>: When,
+alas, it was only the Dumplings they eat.

+The Butter which was melted and pour’d over them, these vile Miscreants
+call’d <i>Libations</i>: And the friendly Compotations of our
+Dumpling-eaters, were call’d <i>Bacchanalian Rites</i>. Two or three
+among ’em being sweet-tooth’d, wou’d strew a little Sugar over their
+Dumplings; this was represented as an <i>Heathenish Offering</i>. In
+short, not one Action of theirs, but what these Rascally Abbots made
+Criminal, and never let the King alone ’till poor Sir <i>John</i> was
+Discarded. Not but the King did it with the greatest Reluctance; but
+they had made it a Religious Concern, and he cou’d not get off on’t.</p>
+
+<p>But mark the Consequence: The King never enjoy’d himself after, nor
+was it long before he was poison’d by a Monk at <i>Swineshead</i> Abbey.
+Then too late he saw his Error; then he lamented the Loss of Sir
+<i>John</i>; and in his latest Moments wou’d cry out, Oh! that I had
+never parted from my dear <i>Jack Pudding</i>! Wou’d I had never left
+off Pudding and Dumpling! I&nbsp;then had never been thus basely

+<p>Sir <i>John</i>, in the mean time, had retir’d into <i>Norfolk</i>,
+where his diffusive Knowledge extended it self for the Good of the
+County in general; and from that very Cause <i>Norfolk</i> has ever
+since been so famous for Dumplings. He lamented the King’s Death to his
+very last; and was so cautious of being poison’d by the Priests, that he
+never touch’d a Wafer to the Day of his Death; And had it not been that
+some of the less-designing part of the Clergy were his intimate Friends,
+and eat daily of his Dumplings, he had doubtless been Made-away with;
+but they stood in the Gap for him, for the sake of his Dumplings,
+knowing that when Sir <i>John</i> was gone, they should never have the
+like again.</p>
+
+<p>But our facetious Knight was too free of his Talk to be long secure;
+for a Hole was pick’d in his Coat in the succeeding Reign, and poor Sir
+<i>John</i> had all his Goods and Chattels forfeited to the King’s Use.
+It was then time for him to bestir himself; and away to Court he goes,
+to recover his Lands, <i>&amp;c.</i> not doubting but he had Friends
+there sufficient to carry his Cause.</p>
+
+<p>But alas! how was he mistaken; not a Soul there knew him; the very
+Porters
+<span class = "pagenum">(13)</span>

+used him rudely. In vain did he seek for Access to the King, to
+vindicate his Conduct. In vain did he claim Acquaintance with the Lords
+of the Court; and reap up old Civilities, to remind ’em of former
+Kindness; the Pudding was eat, the Obligation was over: Which made Sir
+<i>John</i> compose that excellent Proverb, <i>Not a word of the
+Pudding</i>. And finding all Means ineffectual, he left the Court in a
+great Pet; yet not without passing a severe Joke upon ’em, in his way,
+which was this; He sent a Pudding to the King’s Table, under the Name of
+a <i>Court-Pudding</i>, or <i>Promise-Pudding</i>. This Pudding he did
+not fail to set off with large Encomiums; assuring the King, That
+therein he wou’d find an Hieroglyphical Definition of Courtiers Promises
+and Friendship.</p>
+
+<p>This caused some Speculation; and the King’s Physician debarr’d the
+King from tasting the Pudding, not knowing but that Sir <i>John</i> had
+poison’d&nbsp;it.</p>
+
+<p>But how great a Fit of Laughter ensu’d, may be easily guess’d, when
+the Pudding was cut up, it prov’d only a large Bladder, just clos’d over
+with Paste: The Bladder was full of Wind, and nothing else, excepting
+these Verses written in a Roll of Paper,
+<span class = "pagenum">(14)</span>

+
+<p>This Adventure met with various Constructions from those at Table:

+End, and Laugh’d outright.</p>
+
+<p>The Verses, tho’ but scurvy ones in themselves, yet in those Days
+pass’d for tolerable: Nay, the King was mightily pleas’d with ’em, and
+play’d ’em off on his Courtiers as Occasion serv’d; he wou’d stop ’em
+short in the middle of a flattering Harangue, and cry, <i>Not a Word of

+no Purpose; for the King gave him a private Hearing: In which he so well
+satisfy’d His Majesty of his Innocence and Integrity, that all his Lands
+were restor’d. The King wou’d have put him in his old Post; but he
+modestly declin’d it, but at the same time presented His Majesty with a
+Book of most excellent Receipts for all kinds of Puddings: Which Book
+His Majesty receiv’d with all imaginable Kindness, and kept it among his

+always his Budget full of Punns, Connundrums and Carrawitchets; not to

+which the King has laugh’d ’till his Sides crackt.</p>
+
+<p>Sir <i>John</i>, tho’ he was no very great Scholar, yet had a happy
+way of Expressing himself: He was a Man of the most Engaging Address,
+and never fail’d to draw Attention: Plenty and Good-Nature smil’d in his
+Face; his Muscles were never distorted with Anger or Contemplation, but
+an eternal Smile drew up the Corners of his Mouth; his very Eyes
+laugh’d; and as for his Chin it was three-double, a-down which hung a
+goodly Whey-colour’d Beard shining with the Drippings of his Luxury; for
+you must know he was a great Epicure, and had a very Sensible Mouth; he
+thought nothing too-good for himself, all his Care was for his Belly;
+and his Palate was so exquisite, that it was the perfect Standard of
+Tasting. So that to him we owe all that is elegant in Eating: For
+Pudding was not his only Talent, he was a great Virtuoso in all manner
+of Eatables; and tho’ he might come short of <i>Lambert</i> for
+Confectionary-Niceties, yet was he not inferiour to <i>Brawnd</i>,
+<i>Lebec</i>, <i>Pede</i>, or any other great Masters of Cookery; he
+could toss up a Fricassée as well as a Pancake:

+And most of the Kickshaws now in vogue, are but his Inventions, with
+other Names; for what we call <i>Fricassées</i>, he call’d
+<i>Pancakes</i>; as, a&nbsp;Pancake of Chickens, a&nbsp;Pancake of
+Rabbets, <i>&amp;c.</i> Nay, the <i>French</i> call a Pudding an
+<i>English</i> Fricassée, to this Day.</p>
+
+<p>We value our selves mightily for Roasting a Hare with a Pudding in
+its Belly; when alas he has roasted an Ox with a Pudding in his Belly.
+There was no Man like him for Invention and Contrivance: And then for
+Execution, he spar’d no Labour and Pains to compass his magnanimous
+Designs.</p>
+
+<p>O wou’d to Heav’n this little Attempt of Mine may stir up some
+<i>Pudding-headed Antiquary</i> to dig his Way through all the mouldy
+Records of Antiquity, and bring to Light the Noble Actions of Sir
+<i>John</i>! It will not then be long before we see him on the Stage.
+Sir <i>John Falstaffe</i> then will be a Shrimp to Sir <i>John

+Memory.</p>
+
+<p>On such a Subject I hope to see Sir <i>Richard</i> Out-do himself.
+Nor <i>Arthur</i> nor <i>Eliza</i> shall with Sir <i>John</i> compare.
+There is not so much <ins class = "correction" title = "text reads ‘differenee’">difference</ins> between a Telescope and a Powder-Puff,
+a&nbsp;Hoop-Petty-Coat and a Farthing-Candle, a&nbsp;Birch-Broom and a
+Diamond-Ring, as there will be between the former Writings of this pair
+of Poets and their Lucubrations on this Head.</p>
+
+<p>Nor will it stop here: The <i>Opera</i> Composers shall have t’other
+Contest, which shall best sing-forth his Praises. Sorry am I that
+<i>Nicolino</i> is not here, he would have made an excellent Sir
+<i>John</i>. But <i>Senefino</i>, being blown up after the manner that
+Butchers blow Calves, may do well enough. From thence the Painters and
+Print-sellers shall retail his goodly Phiz; and what <i>Sacheverel</i>
+was, shall Sir <i>John Pudding</i> be; his Head shall hang Elate on
+every Sign, his Fame shall ring in every Street, and <i>Cluer</i>’s
+Press shall teem with Ballads to his Praise. This would be but Honour,
+this would be but Gratitude, from a Generation so much indebted to so
+Great a Man.</p>

+<p>But how much do we deviate from Honour and Gratitude, when we put
+other Names to his Inventions, and call ’em our own? What is a Tart,
+a&nbsp;Pie, or a Pasty, but Meat or Fruit enclos’d in a Wall or Covering
+of Pudding. What is a Cake, but a Bak’d Pudding; or a
+<i>Christmas</i>-Pie, but a Minc’d-Meat-Pudding. As for Cheese-cakes,
+Custards, Tansies, they are manifest Puddings, and all of Sir
+<i>John</i>’s own Contrivance; for Custard is as old if not older than
+<i>Magna Charta</i>. In short, Pudding is of the greatest Dignity and
+Antiquity. Bread it self, which is the very Staff of Life, is, properly
+speaking, a&nbsp;Bak’d Wheat-Pudding.</p>
+
+<p>To the Satchel, which is the Pudding-Bag of Ingenuity, we are
+indebted for the greatest Men in Church and State. All Arts and Sciences
+owe their Original to Pudding or Dumpling. What is a Bag-Pipe, the
+Mother of all Music, but a Pudding of Harmony. And what is Music it
+self, but a Palatable Cookery of Sounds. To little Puddings or Bladders

+
+<p>In short, There is nothing valuable in Nature, but what, more or

+and Religious Institution? Philosophers, Poets, and Learned Men in all
+Faculties, Judges, Privy-Councellors, and Members of both Houses, have,

+
+<p class = "ital">
+The only Plea I can use in Mr. <em>C<span class =

+a&nbsp;Week after the Arrival of D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n&nbsp;<i>S<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>t</i>, from <i>Ireland</i>; the Occasion, as
+I am very well informed, was this, the D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n, one of the first Things he did, went to
+pay a Visit to Mr. <i>T<span class = "dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span></i>,
+his old Bookseller; but, to his Surprize, found both the Brothers dead,
+and a Relation in the Shop, to whom he was an utter Stranger. Mr.
+<i>M<span class = "dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span></i> for such is this
+Person’s Name, gathering from the D&mdash;n’s Enquiries who he was, paid
+him his <i>Devoirs</i> in the most respectful Manner, solicited his
+Friendship, and invited him to a Dinner, which the D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n&nbsp;was pleased to accept. By the Way,
+you must know, he is a great Lover of Dumpling, as well as the
+Bookseller, who had ordered one for himself, little dreaming of such a
+Guest that Day. The Dinner, as ’twas not provided on purpose, was but a
+Family one, well enough however for a Bookseller; that is to say,
+a&nbsp;couple of Fowls, Bacon and Sprouts boiled, and a Forequarter
+<span class = "pagenum">vii</span>
+<!-- png 59 -->
+of Lamb roasted. After the usual Complements for the unexpected Honour,
+and the old Apology of wishing it was better for his sake: The Maid,
+silly Girl! came and asked her Master if he pleased to have his
+Dumpling; he would have chid her, but the D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n&nbsp;mollified him, insisting at the same
+Time, upon the Introduction of Dumpling, which accordingly was done.
+Dumpling gave Cause of Conversation, but not till it was eat; for the
+Reader must understand, that both the Gentlemen <ins class =
+"correction" title = "text unchanged: error for ‘ply’?">play</ins>
+a&nbsp;good Knife and Fork, and are too mannerly to talk with their
+Mouths full. The Dumpling eat, as I said before, the D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n&nbsp;drank to the Bookseller, the
+Bookseller to the Author, and with an obsequious Smile, seem’d to say
+ah! Dear Doctor, you have been a Friend to my Predecessor, can you do
+nothing for me? The D&mdash;n&nbsp;took the Hint, and after a profound
+Contemplation, cry’d, Why ay&mdash;Dumpling will do&mdash;put
+<span class = "pagenum">viii</span>
+<!-- png 60 -->
+me in Mind of Dumpling anon, but not a Word more at present, and good
+Reason why, Dinner was coming in. So they past the rest of the Meal with
+great Silence and Application, and no doubt dined well. Far otherwise
+was it with me that Day: I&nbsp;remember to my Sorrow, I&nbsp;had a Hogs
+Maw, without Salt or Mustard; <ins class = "correction" title = "text reads ‘ha-/ing’ at line break">having</ins> at that Time, Credit with
+the Pork-Woman, but not with the Chandler: Times are since mended,
+<i>Amen</i> to the Continuance!</p>
+
+<p>The D<span class = "dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n, having eat and
+drank plentifully, began his usual Pleasantries, and made the Bookseller
+measure his Ears with his Mouth; nay, burst his Sides with Laughter;
+however, he found Interval enough to remind the D<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n&nbsp;of Dumpling, who asked him if he had
+a quick Hand at Writing: he excused himself, being naturally as Lazy as
+the other was Indolent, so they contrived to ease themselves by sending
+for a Hackney Writer

+out of <i>Temple Lane</i> to be the D&mdash;’s <i>Amanuensis</i>, while
+he and his new Acquaintance crack’d t’other Bottle.</p>
+
+<p>This Account may be depended upon, because I had it from the Man
+himself, who scorns to tell a Lye.</p>
+
+<p>To be short, my Friend had the worst of it, being kept to hard
+Writing, without Drinking (Churls that they were) about three Hours; in
+which Time the Dissertation was finished, that is to say, from Page 1.

+to fill up the Chinks, but of that he knows nothing; sufficient is it

+Life to the most Desponding: Therefore are
+<span class = "pagenum">12</span>
+<!-- png 64 -->
+Pudding Eaters of great Use in State Affairs.</p>
+
+<p>This Quotation is of a Piece with his Motto to the Tale of a Tub, and
+other Writings; altogether Fictitious and Drole: he adds to the Jest, by
+putting an Air of Authority or genuine Quotation from some great Author;
+when alas! the whole is mere Farce and Invention.</p>
+
+<p>The Dedication is one continued Sneer upon Authors, and their
+Patrons, and seems to carry a Glance of Derision towards Men of Quality
+in General; by setting a Cook above them, as a more useful Member in a
+body Politick. Some will have this <i>Braund</i>, to be Sir ****, others
+Sir
+****, others Sir ****; but I take it to be more Railery than Mystery,
+and that Mr. <i>Braund</i>, at the <i>Rummer</i> in <i>Queen-street</i>,
+is the Person; who having pleas’d the Author in two or three
+Entertainments, he, with a View truly <i>Epicurean</i>, constitutes him
+<span class = "pagenum">13</span>
+<!-- png 65 -->
+his <i>MÊcenas</i>; as being more agreeable to him than a whole Circle
+of Stars and Garters, of what Colour or Denomination soever.</p>
+
+<p>In his Tale of a Tub, he has a fling at Dependance, and Attendance,
+where he talks of a Body worn out with Poxes ill cured, and Shooes with
+Dependance, and Attendance. Not having the Book by me, I&nbsp;am forced
+to quote at Random, but I hope the courteous Reader will bear me out. He
+complains of it again in this Treatise, and makes a Complement to Mr.
+<i>Austin</i>, Mr. <i>Braund</i>’s late Servant; who keeps the
+<i>Braund</i>’s Head in <i>New Bond-street</i>, near
+<i>Hanover-Square</i>; a&nbsp;House of great Elegance, and where he used
+frequently to dine.</p>
+
+<p>The Distinction of <i>Brand</i>, <i>Braund</i>, and <i>Barnes</i>, is
+a Banter on Criticks, and Genealogists, who make such a Pother about the
+Orthography of Names and Things, that many Times, three Parts in four of
+a Folio Treatise,
+<span class = "pagenum">14</span>
+<!-- png 66 -->
+is taken up in ascertaining the Propriety of a Syllable, by which Means
+the Reader is left undetermined; having nothing but the various Readings
+on a single Word, and that probably, of small Importance.</p>
+
+<p>I heartily wish some of these Glossographists would oblige the World
+with a Folio Treatise or two, on the Word Rabbet: We shall then know
+whether it is to be spelt with an <i>e</i>, or an <i>i</i>. For, to the
+Shame of the <i>English</i> Tongue and this learned Age, our most
+eminent Physicians, Surgeons, Anatomists and Men Midwives, have all been
+to seek in this Affair.</p>

+<p>The Master-Key to this Mystery, is the Explanation of its Terms; for

+Encouragement. A&nbsp;<i>Pudding</i> signifies a P<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>t, and sometimes a C<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>tee. A&nbsp;<i>Dumpling Eater</i>, is a
+Dependant on the Court, or, in a Word, any one who will rather pocket an
+Affront than be angry at a Tip in Time. A&nbsp;<i>Cook</i> is a Minister
+of State. The <i>Epicurean</i> and <i>Peripatetic</i> Sects, are the two
+Parties of <i>Whigg</i> and <i>Tory</i>, who both are greedy enough of
+Dumpling.</p>

+<i>Page</i></a>, without owning he received that important Part of the
+History of Pudding, from old Mr. <i>Lawrence</i> of <i>Wilsden
+Green</i>, the greatest Antiquary of the present Age.&rdquo;<!-- marginal, no
+close quote --></p>
+
+<p>This old <i>Lawrence</i> is a great Favourite of the D&mdash;s; he is
+a facetious farmer, of above eighty Years of Age, now living at
+<i>Wilsden Green</i>, near <i>Kilburn</i> in <i>Middlesex</i>, the most
+rural Place I ever saw: exactly like the Wilds of <i>Ireland</i>. It was
+here the D&mdash;n&nbsp;often retired <i>incog.</i> to amuse himself
+with the Simplicity of the Place and People; where he got together all
+that Rigmayroll of Childrens talk, which composes his <i>Namby
+Pamby</i>. Old <i>Lawrence</i>
+<span class = "pagenum">17</span>
+<span class = "folionum">D</span>
+<!-- png 69 -->
+told me, the D&mdash;n&nbsp;has sate several Hours together to see the
+Children play, with the greatest Pleasure in Life: The rest he learned
+from the old Nurses thereabouts, of which there are a great many, with
+whom he would go and smoke a Pipe frequently, and cordially; not in his
+Clergyman’s Habit, but in a black Suit of Cloth Clothes, and without a
+Rose in his Hat: Which made them conclude him to be a Presbyterian
+Parson.</p>
+
+<p>This Mention of old <i>Lawrence</i>, is in Ridicule to a certain
+great Artist, who wrote a Treatise upon the Word <i>Connoisseur</i> (or
+a Knower) and confesses himself to have been many Years at a loss for a
+Word to express the Action of Knowing, till the great Mr. <i>Prior</i>
+gave him Ease, by furnishing him with the Word <i>Connoissance</i>. Our
+D&mdash;n&nbsp;had drawn a Drole, Parallel to this, <i>viz.</i>
+<i>Boudineur</i>, a&nbsp;Pudding Pyeman; and <i>Boudinance</i>, the
+making of
+<span class = "pagenum">18</span>
+<!-- png 70 -->
+Pudding Pies: But several Men of Quality begging it off, it was, at
+their Request, scratch’d out, but my Friend, the <i>Amanuensis</i>,
+remembers particularly its being originally inserted.</p>
+
+<p>If the Reader should ask, Who is that K&mdash; <i>John</i> mentioned
+in the <a href = "#dumpling_page4">fourth Page</a>, and which I ought to
+have taken in its Place. I&nbsp;beg leave to inform him, that by K.
+<i>John</i> is meant the late Q. <span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>, with whom the D&mdash; of <i>M<span class

+that he was nick named K. <i>John</i>; it was in that Part of the
+Q&mdash;’s Reign, that Sir <i>John</i> Pudding, by whom is meant ****
+<i>you know who</i>, came in Favour; it is true, the Name is odd, and
+seems to carry an Air of Ridicule with it, but the Character given him
+by this allegorical Writer, is that of an able Statesman, and an honest
+Man.</p>
+
+<p>And here, begging Mr. D&mdash;n’s Pardon, I cannot but think his Wit
+has out run his Judgment; for he puts
+<span class = "pagenum">19</span>
+<span class = "folionum">D2</span>
+<!-- png 71 -->
+the Cart before the Horse, and begins at the latter Part of Sir ****
+Administration: But this might be owing to too plentiful a Dinner, and
+too much of the Creature. Be that as it will, I&nbsp;must follow my
+Copy, and explain it as it lies. Proceed we therefore to the

+<p>&ldquo;But what rais’d our Hero most in the Esteem of this Pudding-eating
+Monarch, was his second Edition of Pudding, he being the first that ever
+invented the Art of broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King’s liking (who had a mortal Aversion to cold
+Pudding) that he thereupon instituted him Knight of the Gridiron, and
+gave him a Gridiron of Gold, the Ensign of that Order; which he always
+wore as a Mark of his Sovereign’s Favour.&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>If this does not mean the late Revival of an ancient Order of
+Knighthood, I&nbsp;never will unriddle Mystery

+more: To prove which, we need but cross over to the next Page, where he

+bearing a huge Pair of Spectacles to saddle his Honour’s Nose.&rdquo; <a href
+= "#dumpling_page7"><i>Diss. Page&nbsp;7.</i></a></p>
+
+<p>After this, he very severely runs upon those would-be Statesmen, who
+put themselves in Competition with his Favourite, Sir ****, with whom he
+became exceeding intimate, and almost inseperable, all the Time he was
+in <i>England</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The Story of the Kit Cat Club, <i>Dick Estcourt</i>, and <i>Jacob
+Tonson</i>, is a mere Digression; and nothing more to the Purpose, than
+that we may imagine it came uppermost. He returns to his Subject in his

+<p>&ldquo;Now it was Sir <i>John</i>’s Method, every <i>Sunday</i> Morning, to

+forming a Design against his Life, which they in Conscience ought to
+discover: That Sir <i>John</i> was not only an Heretic, but an Heathen;
+nay, worse, they fear’d he was a Witch, and that he had bewitch’d his
+Majesty into that unaccountable Fondness for a <i>Pudding-Maker</i>.
+They assured the King, that on a <i>Sunday</i> Morning, instead of being
+at Mattins, he and his Trigrimates got together hum jum, all snug, and
+perform’d many hellish and diabolical Ceremonies. In short, they made
+the King believe that the Moon was made of Green-Cheese: And to shew how
+the Innocent may be bely’d, and the best Intentions misrepresented, they
+told the King, That he and his Associates offered Sacrifices to
+<i>Ceres</i>: When, alas, it was only the Dumplings they eat.</p>
+
+<p>&ldquo;The Butter which was melted and poured over them, these vile
+Miscreants, called <i>Libations</i>: And the
+<span class = "pagenum">23</span>

+friendly Compotations of our Dumpling Eaters, were called
+<i>Bacchanalian Rites</i>. Two or three among them being sweet tooth’d,
+would strew a little Sugar over their Dumplings; this was represented as
+an <i>Heathenish Offering</i>. In short, not one Action of theirs, but
+which these rascally Abbots made criminal, and never let the King alone
+till Sir <i>John</i> was discarded; not but the King did it with the
+greatest Reluctance; but they made it a religious Concern, and he could
+not get off on’t.&rdquo;<!-- marginal, no close quote --> <a href =

+<p>All the World knows that the <i>Tory</i> Ministry got uppermost, for
+the four last Years of the Queen’s Reign, and by their unaccountable
+Management, teaz’d that good Lady out of her Life: Which occasion’d the

+
+<p>This alludes to Sir **** Imprisonment and Disgrace in the Year <span
+class = "dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span> Nay, so barefaced is the
+D&mdash;n&nbsp;in his Allegory, that he tells us, in his <a href =

+as plain as the Nose on a Man’s Face! The subsequent Pages are an exact
+Description of the Ingratitude of Courtiers; and his Fable of the
+<i>Court Pudding</i>, <a href = "#dumpling_page13">Page&nbsp;13.</a> is
+the best Part of the whole Dissertation.</p>
+
+<p>One would imagine the D&mdash;n had been at Sea, by his writing
+Catharping-Fashion, and dodging the Story sometimes Twenty-Years
+backwards,
+<span class = "pagenum">25</span>
+<span class = "folionum">E</span>
+<!-- png 77 -->
+at other Times advancing as many; so that one knows not where to have
+him: for in his <a href = "#dumpling_page15">fifteenth Page</a>, he
+returns to the present Scene of Action, and brings his Hero into the
+Favour of K<span class = "dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span> <i>Harry</i>,
+<i>alias</i> **** who being sensible of his Abilities, restores him into
+Favour, and makes Use of his admirable Skill in Cookery, <i>alias</i>
+State Affairs.</p>
+
+<p>&ldquo;Not one of the King’s Cooks could make a Pudding like Sir
+<i>John</i>; nay, though he made a Pudding before their Eyes, yet they,
+out of the very same Materials, could not do the like: Which made his
+old Friends, the Monks, attribute it to Witchcraft and it was currently
+reported the Devil was his Helper. But good King <i>Harry</i> was not to
+be fobb’d off so; the Pudding was good, it sat very well on his Stomach,
+and he eat very savourly, without the least Remorse of Conscience.&rdquo;
+<a href = "#dumpling_page15"><i>Diss. Page</i>&nbsp;15</a>.</p>
+
+<span class = "pagenum">26</span>
+<!-- png 78 -->
+<p>This seems to hint at the Opposition Sir **** met with from the
+contrary Party, and how sensible the K<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span> was, that they were all unable to hold the
+Staff in Competition with him.</p>
+
+<p>After this the D&mdash;n runs into a whimsical Description of his
+Heroes personal Virtues; but draws the Picture too much <i>Alla
+Carraccatura</i>, and is, in my Opinion, not only a little too familiar,
+but wide of his Subject. For begging his Deanship’s Pardon, he mightily
+betrays his Judgment, when he says, Sir <i>John</i> was no very great
+Scholar, whereas all Men of Learning allow him to be a most excellent
+one; but as we may suppose he grew pretty warm by this Time with the
+Booksellers Wine, he got into his old Knack of Raillery, and begins to
+run upon all Mankind: In this Mood he falls upon <i>C<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span> J<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>n</i>, and Sir <i>R<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span> Bl<span class =
+"dash">&mdash;&mdash;</span>re</i>, a&nbsp;pair of twin Poets, who
+suck’d one and the same Muse. After
+<span class = "pagenum">27</span>
+<span class = "folionum">E2</span>
+<!-- png 79 -->
+this he has a Fling at <i>Handel</i>, <i>Bononcini</i> and
+<i>Attilio</i>, the Opera Composers; and a severe Sneer on the late
+High-Church Idol, <i>Sacheverel</i>. As for <i>Cluer</i>, the Printer,
+any Body that knows Music, or <i>Bow Church Yard</i>, needs no farther
+Information.</p>
+
+<p>And now he proceeds to a Digression, which is indeed the Dissertation
+it self; proving all Arts and Sciences to owe their Origin and Existence
+to <i>Pudding</i> and <i>Dumpling</i> (<i>i.&nbsp;e.</i>) Encouragement.
+His <i>Hiatus</i> in the <a href = "#dumpling_page20">20th Page</a>,
+I&nbsp;could, but dare not Decypher.</p>
+
+<p>In his <a href = "#dumpling_page22">22nd Page</a>, he lashes the
+Authors who oppose the Government; such as the <i>Craftsman</i>,
+<i>Occasional Writer</i>, and other Scribblers, past, present, and to
+come. <i>The Dumpling-Eaters Downfal</i>, is a Title of his own
+Imagination; I&nbsp;have run over all <i>Wilford</i>’s Catalogues, and
+see no Mention made of such a Book: All that Paragraph therefore is a
+mere Piece of Rablaiscism.</p>
+
+<span class = "pagenum">28</span>
+<!-- png 80 -->
+<p>In his <a href = "#dumpling_page23">23d Page</a>, he has another
+confounded Fling at Foreigners; and after having determinately dubb’d
+his Hero, the Prince of Statesmen, he concludes his Dissertation with a
+Mess of Drollery, and goes off in a Laugh.</p>
+
+<p>In a Word, the whole Dissertation seems calculated to ingratiate the
+D&mdash;n&nbsp;in Sir **** Favour; he draws the Picture of an able and
+an honest Minister, painful in his Countries Service, and beloved by his
+Prince; yet oftentimes misrepresented and bely’d: Nay, sometimes on the
+Brink of Ruin, but always Conqueror. The Fears, the Jealousies, the
+Misrepresentations of an enraged and disappointed Party, give him no
+small Uneasiness to see the Ingratitude of some Men, the Folly of
+others, who shall believe black to be white, because prejudiced and
+designing Knaves alarm ’em with false Fears. We see every Action
+misconstrued, and Evil made out of Good; but as the best
+<span class = "pagenum">29</span>
+<!-- png 81 -->
+Persons and Things are subject to Scandal and Ridicule; so have they the
+Pleasure of Triumphing in the Truth, which always will prevail.</p>
+
+<p>I take the Allegory of this Dissertation to be partly Historical,
+partly Prophetical; the D&mdash;n&nbsp;seeming to have carried his View,
+not only to the present, but even, succeeding Times. He sets his Hero
+down at last in Peace, Plenty, and a happy Retirement, not unrelented by
+his Prince; his Honesty apparent, his Enemies baffled and confounded,
+and his Measures made the Standard of good Government; and a Pattern for
+all just Ministers to follow.</p>
+
+<p>Thus, gentle Reader, have I, at the Expence of these poor Brains,
+crack’d this thick Shell, and given thee the Kernel. If any should
+object, and say this Exposition is a Contradiction to the D&mdash;n’s
+Principles; I&nbsp;assure such Objector, that the D&mdash;n&nbsp;is an
+errant <i>Whig</i> by Education, and Choice: He may indeed cajole the
+<i>Tories</i>
+<span class = "pagenum">30</span>
+<!-- png 82 -->
+with a Belief that he is of their Party; but it is all a Joke, he is a
+<i>Whig</i>, and I know him to be so; Nay more, I&nbsp;can prove it, and
+defy him to contradict me; did he not just after his Arrival and
+Promotion in <i>Ireland</i>, writing to one of his intimate Friends in
+<i>London</i>, conclude his Letter in this Manner?</p>
+
+<p class = "ital">
+Thus Dear **** from all that has occur’d, you must conclude me a
+<em>Tory</em> in every Thing, but my Principle, which is yet as unmoved,
+as, that I&nbsp;am,</p>
+
+<p class = "right">
+Yours, <i>&amp;c.</i></p>
+
+<p>This Letter, his Tale of a Tub, and in a Word, all his Invectives
+against Enthusiasm and Priestcraft, plainly prove him to be no
+<i>Tory</i>; and if his Intimacy, not only with Sir
+**** himself, but most of the prime Men in the Ministry, cannot prove
+him a <i>Whig</i>, I&nbsp;have no more to say.</p>

+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a>

+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+_A Learned Dissertation on Dumpling_ and its _Key_ (_Pudding and
+Dumpling Burnt to Pot_) are typical satiric pamphlets which grew out of
+the political in-fighting of the first half of the eighteenth century.
+The pamphlets are distinguished by the fact that the author's level of
+imagination and writing makes them delightful reading even today. In
+_Dumpling_ the author displays a considerable knowledge of cooks and
+cookery in London; by insinuating that to love dumpling is to love
+corruption, he effectively and amusingly achieves satiric indirection
+against a number of political and social targets, including Walpole. The
+_Key_ is in many ways a separate pamphlet in which Swift is the central
+figure under attack after his two secret visits to Walpole during 1726.
+_Dumpling_ had a long life for an eighteenth-century pamphlet and was
+published as late as 1770. Dr. F. T. Wood has even suggested that it may
+have influenced Lamb's _Dissertation on Roast Pig_;[1] readers might
+wish to test this for themselves.
+
+_Dumpling_ and its _Key_ were first claimed for Henry Carey by Dr. Wood
+(pp. 442-447). Carey (1687-1743) is generally thought to have been an
+illegitimate scion of the powerful Savile family,[2] with whose name he
+christened three of his sons. He was perhaps best known as a writer of
+songs. "Sally in our Alley" is a classic, and he has even a tenuous
+claim to the authorship of the English national anthem. Carey's
+_Dramatic Works_ appeared in 1743, the year in which he met his death,
+almost certainly by his own hand. Several of the plays were successful
+and particular reference should be made to the burlesques
+_Chrononhotonthologos_ (1734) and _The Dragon of Wantley_ (1737). The
+latter even outran the performances of _The Beggar's Opera_ in its first
+year. Not only do these plays show Carey's satiric bent, but so also do
+a considerable number of his poems. In 1713, 1720, and 1729 Carey
+published three different collections of his poetry, each entitled
+_Poems on Several Occasions_. Although a few of the poems were repeated,
+almost always revised, each edition is very much a different collection.
+An edition was brought out in this century by Dr. Wood.[3]
+
+I am strongly inclined to support Carey's claim to the authorship of
+_Dumpling_ and its _Key_ despite Dr. E. L. Oldfield's more recent
+attempt to invalidate it.[4] There were at least ten editions of
+_Dumpling_ in the eighteenth century. The first seven (1726-27) appeared
+during Carey's life, and these (I have seen all but the third) contain
+the _Namby Pamby_ verses which later appeared under Carey's own name in
+his enlarged _Poems on Several Occasions_ (1729). There was also a
+"sixth edition" of _Dumpling_ (really the eighth extant edition) in
+Carey's own name published "for T. Read, in Dogwell-Court, White-Friars,
+Fleet-Street, MDCCXLIV." Though _Namby Pamby_ was not added to the first
+edition of the _Key_, it appears in the second edition. Both editions
+were published by Mrs. Dodd, of whom Dr. Oldfield says: she "seems to
+have been a neighbour, and known to Carey" (p. 375). Dr. Wood indicates
+that "at the foot of a folio sheet containing Carey's song _Mocking is
+Catching_, published in 1726, the sixth edition of _A Learned
+Dissertation on Dumpling_ is advertised as having been lately published"
+(p. 442). Dr. Wood adds in a footnote that this song "appeared in _The
+Musical Century_ (1740) under the title _A Sorrowful Lamentation for the
+Loss of a Man and No Man_." Even more striking would seem to be the fact
+that although there are ninety-one entries in his _Poems_ (1729), Carey
+has placed the _Sorrowful Lamentation_ directly adjacent to _Namby
+Pamby_.
+
+Dr. Wood maintains of _Dumpling_ that "the general style bears a close
+resemblance to that of the prefaces to Carey's plays and collections
+of poetry" (p. 443). I should like strongly to support his statement.
+Dr. Oldfield says that an inviolable regard for decency "is nowhere
+contradicted in Carey's works . . . . Yet the pamphlets, besides being
+palpably Whiggish, are larded _passim_ with vulgarity of the
+'Close-Stool' and 'Clyster' variety" (p. 376). The reader need look no
+further than _Namby Pamby_ to see that Carey satisfies Northrop Frye's
+very proper observation: "Genius seems to have led practically every
+great satirist to become what the world calls obscene."
+
+As for the pamphlets being "palpably Whiggish," the reader will not look
+far into the allegory before he realizes that one of the central attacks
+is against those well-known Whigs Walpole and Marlborough and their
+appetite for Dumpling (i.e., bribery and perquisites). Furthermore, the
+attack on Swift, which is central to the _Key_, is based on the very
+real fear that the Dean's two recent private interviews with Walpole
+might presage a return to that leader's Whig party in exchange for
+Dumpling. The last pages of the _Key_ (pp. 28-30) deal with the
+possibility of an accommodation between Swift and Walpole which is,
+I feel sure, the main target of attack. In his poems (_Poems_, ed. Wood,
+pp. 83, 86, 88, and _passim_) Carey claims to stand between Whig and
+Tory, just as he does in the pamphlets (_Dumpling_, p. 1, and _Key_,
+p. 15 and _passim_).
+
+Dr. Wood perceptively points to two parallels between _Dumpling_ and the
+satiric _Of Stage Tyrants_ (1735) which Carey openly addressed to the
+Earl of Chesterfield. _Dumpling's_ "O Braund, my Patron! my Pleasure!
+my Pride" (p. [ii]) becomes: "O Chesterfield, my patron and my pride"
+(_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 104). The passage which follows, dealing with
+"all the Monkey-Tricks of Rival Harlequins" (_Dumpling_, p. [ii]),
+becomes:
+
+  Prefer pure nature and the simple scene
+  To all the monkey tricks of Harlequin
+
+      (_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 106).
+
+Even more striking is a passage in the _Key_: "Mr. B[ooth] had spoken to
+Mr. W[ilks] to speak to Mr. C[ibber] . . ." (p. 111). This is similar to
+the following lines in _Stage Tyrants_:
+
+  Booth ever shew'd me friendship and respect,
+  And Wilks would rather forward than reject.
+  Ev'n Cibber, terror to the scribbling crew,
+  Would oft solicit me for something new
+
+      (_Poems_, ed. Wood, p. 104).
+
+What is particularly impressive is that Carey not only refers to the
+three managers of Drury Lane but mentions them in the same order and as
+bearing the same relationship to himself. Several highly topical
+theatrical allusions in the pamphlets, by which the works can be dated,
+accord closely to the life, views, and writings of Carey. All three
+managers of Drury Lane were subscribers to Carey's _Poems on Several
+Occasions_ (1729), which was dedicated to the Countess of Burlington,
+who (like the Earl of Chesterfield) was closely related to Carey's
+putative family. In the _Poems_ these people and many others (including
+Pope) would have seen _Namby Pamby_ under Carey's name and drawn the
+obvious conclusion that _Namby Pamby_, _Dumpling_ and the _Key_ were by
+the same author.
+
+We have already seen how closely _Dumpling_ and _Stage Tyrants_ can be
+tied together; the reader can compare for himself that part of _Namby
+Pamby_ containing "So the Nurses get by Heart / Namby Pamby's Little
+Rhymes," with the passage from the _Key_: "It was here the D[ean] . . .
+got together all his Namby Pamby . . . from the old Nurses thereabouts"
+(_Key_, pp. 16-17).
+
+There exists in the Bodleian an early copy of _Namby Pamby_ (1725?) "By
+Capt. Gordon, Author of the Apology for Parson Alberony and the
+Humorist." The joke here is surely in not only letting the Whig Gordon
+attack the Whig Ambrose Phillips but then, also by association,
+connecting Gordon's name with the attack on Walpole and Marlborough.
+There is a parallel to this: Carey's "Lilliputian Ode on Their Majesties
+Succession" appeared in _Poems_ (1729), separated from the pieces
+previously mentioned by only one short patriotic stanza. Yet in the
+Huntington Library there is an almost identical version (1727) which was
+ostensibly published by Swift.
+
+The first six editions of _Dumpling_ appeared in 1726 and both editions
+of the _Key_ are dated 1727. Apart from the dates on the title page,
+this can be verified externally by the initial entries in Wilford's
+_Monthly Catalogue_ (1723-30) of February 1726 and April 1727
+respectively. Swift's first return visit to England (in March 1726 after
+twelve years) was subsequent to the publication of _Dumpling_; his
+second visit was in the same month as the publication of the _Key_,
+which assigns him _ex post facto_ the authorship "from Page 1. to Page
+25." of _Dumpling_ (_Key_, p. ix).
+
+Sir John Pudding and his Dumpling are manipulated throughout these
+pamphlets to carry a multiplicity of meaning which brings them almost as
+close to symbolism as they are to the allegory that Carey claims to be
+writing (_Key_, pp. 18, 24 and 29). Collation of _Dumpling_ with its
+_Key_ clearly reveals (with due allowance for satiric arabesque)
+a series of allegories moving backwards and forwards through history. At
+various stages, Sir John Pudding (ostensibly Brawn [or John Brand], the
+famous cook of the Rummer in Queen Street who appears in Dr. King's _Art
+of Cookery_ [1708]), becomes identifiable with King John, Sir John
+Falstaff, Walpole, Marlborough, and even Queen Anne (for the change in
+sexes see _Key_, p. 18). All of these enjoyed Dumpling, and their tastes
+are ostensibly approved while at the same time being heavily undercut
+with satiric indirection. Naturally enough, Walpole (although a Dumpling
+Eater) is treated with considerable circumspection. Carey has warned us
+that he is a bad chronologist (_Key_, p. 21), and the Sir John Pudding
+(be he Walpole or Marlborough [d. 1722]), who at the end of _Dumpling_
+is referred to as "the Hero of this DUMPLEID," is for good reason spoken
+of in the past tense.
+
+The fable of Dumpling, in the true spirit of _lanx satura_, allows Carey
+to attack by indirection a complete spectrum of traditional
+eighteenth-century targets. Like the musician and the satirist that he
+is, he builds up to a magnificent crescendo (pp. 19-24 of his
+"Dumpleid") which results in one of the finest displays of sustained
+virtuosity in early eighteenth-century pamphlet writing.
+
+The notes which follow the texts point to a number of the contemporary
+allusions, but the reader will surely wish to recognize some of the
+references and the more delicate ironies for himself. As the author puts
+it on page 17 of _Dumpling_:
+
+O wou'd to Heav'n this little Attempt of Mine may stir up some
+_Pudding-headed Antiquary_ to dig his Way through all the mouldy Records
+of Antiquity, and bring to Light the Noble Actions of Sir _John_!
+
+What scholar could refuse?

+
+
+SIR,
+
+Let Mercenary _Authors_ flatter the Great, and subject
+their Principle to Interest and Ambition, I scorn such
+sordid Views; You only are Eminent in my Eyes: On You
+I look as the most Useful Member in a Body-Politic,
+and your Art far superior to all others: Therefore,
+
+  _Tu mihi Mecaenas Eris!_
+
+O BRAUND, my Patron! my Pleasure! my Pride! disdain
+not to grace my Labours with a kind Perusal. Suspend
+a-while your more momentous Cares, and condescend to
+taste this little _Fricassee_ of Mine.
+
+I write not this, to Bite you by the Ear, (_i.e._)
+flatter you out of a Brace or two of Guinea's: No;
+as I am a true _Dumpling Eater_, my Views are purely
+_Epicurean_, and my utmost Hopes center'd in partaking
+of some elegant _Quelque Chose_ tost up by your
+judicious Hand. I regard Money but as a Ticket which
+admits me to your Delicate Entertainments; to me much
+more Agreeable than all the Monkey-Tricks of Rival
+_Harlequins_, or _Puppet-Show_ Finery of Contending
+_Theatres_.
+
+The Plague and fatigue of Dependance and Attendance,
+which call me so often to the Court-end of the Town,
+were insupportable, but for the Relief I find at
+AUSTIN's, your Ingenious and Grateful Disciple, who
+has adorn'd _New Bond-street_ with your Graceful
+_Effigies_. Nor can he fail of Custom who has hung out
+a Sign so Alluring to all true _Dumpling-Eaters_. Many
+a time and oft have I gaz'd with Pleasure on your
+Features, and trac'd in them the exact Lineaments of
+your glorious Ancestor Sir JOHN BRAND, vulgarly call'd
+Sir JOHN PUDDING.
+
+Tho' the Corruption of our _English_ Orthography
+indulges some appearance of Distinction between BRAND
+and BRAUND, yet in Effect they are one and the same
+thing. The ancient Manor of BRAND's, alias BRAUND's,
+near Kilburn in _Middlesex_, was the very Manor-House
+of Sir JOHN BRAND, and is call'd BRAND's to this Day,
+altho' at present it be in the Possession of the
+Family of MARSH.
+
+What Honours are therefore due to One who is in a
+Direct Male Line, an Immediate Descendant from the
+Loins of that Great Man! Let this teach You to value
+your Self; this remind the World, how much they owe to
+the Family of the BRAUNDS; more particularly to YOU,
+who inherit not only the Name, but the Virtues of your
+Illustrious Ancestor. I am,
+
+  SIR,
+
+  With all imaginable
+    Esteem and Gratitude,
+      Your very most
+        Obedient Servant, _&c._

+
+    A
+
+  Learned Dissertation
+
+    on
+
+  DUMPLING;
+
+  Its Dignity, Antiquity, _&c._
+
+
+The Dumpling-Eaters are a Race sprung partly from the
+old _Epicurean_, and partly from the _Peripatetic
+Sect_; they were brought first into _Britain_ by
+_Julius Cesar_; and finding it a Land of Plenty, they
+wisely resolv'd never to go Home again. Their
+Doctrines are Amphibious, and compos'd _Party per
+Pale_ of the two Sects before-mention'd; from the
+_Peripatetics_, they derive their Principle of
+Walking, as a proper Method to digest a Meal, or
+create an Appetite; from the _Epicureans_, they
+maintain that all Pleasures are comprehended in good
+Eating and Drinking: And so readily were their
+Opinions embrac'd, that every Day produc'd many
+Proselytes; and their Numbers have from Age to Age
+increas'd prodigiously, insomuch that our whole Island
+is over-run with them, at present. Eating and Drinking
+are become so Customary among us that we seem to have
+entirely forgot, and laid aside the old Fashion of
+Fasting: Instead of having Wine sold at Apothecaries
+Shops, as formerly, every Street has two or three
+Taverns in it, least these Dumpling-Eaters should
+faint by the Way; nay, so zealous are they in the
+Cause of _Bacchus_, that one of the Chief among 'em
+has made a Vow never to say his Prayers 'till he has a
+Tavern of _his own_ in every Street in _London_, and
+in every Market-Town in _England_. What may we then in
+Time expect? Since by insensible Degrees, their
+Society is become so numerous and formidable, that
+they are without Number; other Bodies have their
+Meetings, but where can the Dumpling-Eaters assemble?
+what Place large enough to contain 'em! The _Bank_,
+_India_, and _South-Sea_ Companies have their General
+Courts, the _Free-Masons_ and the _Gormogons_ their
+Chapters; nay, our Friends the _Quakers_ have their
+Yearly Meetings. And who would imagine any of these
+should be Dumpling-Eaters? But thus it is, the
+Dumpling-Eating Doctrine has so far prevailed among
+'em, that they eat not only Dumplings, but _Puddings_,
+and those in no small Quantities.
+
+The Dumpling is indeed, of more antient Institution,
+and of _Foreign_ Origin; but alas, what were those
+Dumplings? nothing but a few Lentils sodden together,
+moisten'd and cemented with a little seeth'd Fat, not
+much unlike our Gritt or Oatmeal Pudding; yet were
+they of such Esteem among the ancient _Romans_, that a
+Statue was erected to _Fulvius Agricola_, the first
+Inventor of these Lentil Dumplings. How unlike the
+Gratitude shewn by the Publick to our Modern
+Projectors!
+
+The _Romans_, tho' our Conquerors, found themselves
+much out-done in Dumplings by our Fore-fathers; the
+_Roman_ Dumplings were no more to compare to those
+made by the _Britons_, than a Stone-Dumpling is to a
+Marrow Pudding; tho' indeed, the _British_ Dumpling at
+that time, was little better than what we call a
+Stone-Dumpling, being no thing else but Flour and
+Water: But every Generation growing wiser and wiser,
+the Project was improv'd, and Dumpling grew to be
+Pudding: One Projector found Milk better than Water;
+another introduc'd Butter; some added Marrow, others
+Plumbs; and some found out the Use of Sugar; so that,
+to speak Truth, we know not where to fix the Genealogy
+or Chronology of any of these Pudding Projectors,
+to the Reproach of our Historians, who eat so much
+Pudding, yet have been so Ungrateful to the first
+Professors of this most noble Science, as not to find
+'em a Place in History.
+
+The Invention of Eggs was merely accidental, two or
+three of which having casually roll'd from off a Shelf
+into a Pudding which a good Wife was making, she found
+herself under a Necessity either of throwing away her
+Pudding, or letting the Eggs remain, but concluding
+from the innocent Quality of the Eggs, that they would
+do no Hurt, if they did no Good. She wisely jumbl'd
+'em all together, after having carefully pick'd out
+the Shells; the Consequence is easily imagined, the
+Pudding became a Pudding of Puddings; and the Use of
+Eggs from thence took its Date. The Woman was sent for
+to Court to make Puddings for King _John_, who then
+sway'd the Scepter; and gain'd such Favour, that she
+was the making of her whole Family. I cannot conclude
+this Paragraph without owning, I received this
+important Part of the History of Pudding from old Mr.
+_Lawrence_ of _Wilsden-Green_, the greatest Antiquary
+of the present Age.
+
+From that Time the _English_ became so famous for
+Puddings, that they are call'd Pudding-Eaters all over
+the World, to this Day.
+
+At her Demise, her Son was taken into Favour, and made
+the King's chief Cook; and so great was his Fame for
+Puddings, that he was call'd _Jack Pudding_ all over
+the Kingdom, tho' in Truth, his real Name was _John
+Brand_, as by the Records of the Kitchen you will
+find: This _John Brand_, or _Jack-Pudding_, call him
+which you please, the _French_ have it _Jean Boudin_,
+for his Fame had reached _France_, whose King would
+have given the World to have had our _Jack_ for his
+Pudding-Maker. This _Jack Pudding_, I say, became yet
+a greater Favourite than his Mother, insomuch that he
+had the King's Ear as well as his Mouth at Command;
+for the King, you must know, was a mighty Lover of
+Pudding; and _Jack_ fitted him to a Hair, he knew how
+to make the most of a Pudding; no Pudding came amiss
+to him, he would make a Pudding out of a Flint-stone,
+comparatively speaking. It is needless to enumerate
+the many sorts of Pudding he made, such as Plain
+Pudding, Plumb Pudding, Marrow Pudding, Oatmeal
+Pudding, Carrot Pudding, Saucesage Pudding, Bread
+Pudding, Flower Pudding, Suet Pudding, and in short,
+every Pudding but Quaking Pudding, which was solely
+invented by, and took its Name from our Good Friends
+of the _Bull and Mouth_ before mentioned,
+notwithstanding the many Pretenders to that
+Projection.
+
+But what rais'd our Hero most in the Esteem of this
+Pudding-eating Monarch, was his Second Edition of
+Pudding, he being the first that ever invented the Art
+of Broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King's likeing, (who had a mortal
+Aversion to Cold Pudding,) that he thereupon
+instituted him Knight of the Gridiron, and gave him a
+Gridiron of Gold, the Ensign of that Order, which he
+always wore as a Mark of his Sovereign's Favour; in
+short, _Jack Pudding_, or Sir _John_, grew to be all
+in all with good King _John_; he did nothing without
+him, they were Finger and Glove; and, if we may
+believe Tradition, our very good Friend had no small
+Hand in the _Magna Charta_. If so, how much are all
+_Englishmen_ indebted to him? in what Repute ought the
+Order of the Gridiron to be, which was instituted to
+do Honour to this Wonderful Man? But alas! how soon is
+Merit forgot? how impudently do the Vulgar turn the
+most serious Things into Ridicule, and mock the most
+solemn Trophies of Honour? for now every Fool at a
+Fair, or Zany at a Mountebank's Stage, is call'd _Jack
+Pudding_, has a Gridiron at his Back, and a great Pair
+of Spectacles at his Buttocks, to ridicule the most
+noble Order of the Gridiron. But their Spectacles is a
+most ungrateful Reflection on the Memory of that great
+Man, whose indefatigable Application to his Business,
+and deep Study in that occult Science, rendred him
+Poreblind; to remedy which Misfortune, he had always a
+'Squire follow'd him, bearing a huge Pair of
+Spectacles to saddle his Honour's Nose, and supply his
+much-lamented Defect of Sight. But whether such an
+Unhappiness did not deserve rather Pity than Ridicule,
+I leave to the Determination of all good Christians:
+I cannot but say, it raises my Indignation, when I see
+these Paunch-gutted Fellows usurping the Title and
+Atchievements of my dear Sir _John_, whose Memory I so
+much venerate, I cannot always contain my self.
+I remember, to my Cost, I once carry'd my Resentment a
+little farther than ordinary; in furiously assaulting
+one of those Rascals, I tore the Gridiron from his
+Back, and the Spectacles from his A--e; for which I
+was Apprehended, carried to Pye-powder Court, and by
+that tremendous Bench, sentenc'd to most severe Pains
+and Penalties.
+
+This has indeed a little tam'd me, insomuch that I
+keep my Fingers to my self, but at the same time let
+my Tongue run like a Devil: Forbear vile Miscreants,
+cry I, where-e'er I meet these Wretches? forbear to
+ascribe to your selves the Name and Honours of Sir
+_John Pudding_? content your selves with being
+_Zanies_, _Pickled-Herrings_, _Punchionellos_, but
+dare not scandalize the noble Name of _Pudding_: Nor
+can I, notwithstanding the Clamours and Ill Usage of
+the Vulgar, refrain bearing my Testimony against this
+manifest piece of Injustice.
+
+What Pity it is therefore, so noble an Order should be
+lost, or at least neglected. We have had no Account of
+the real Knights of the Gridiron, since they appeared
+under the fictitious Name of the _Kit-Kat Club_: In
+their Possession was the very Gridiron of Gold worn by
+Sir _John_ himself; which Identical Gridiron dignified
+the Breast of the most ingenious Mr. _Richard
+Estcourt_ that excellent Physician and Comedian, who
+was President of that Noble Society.
+
+  _Quis talia fando temperet a Lachrymis?_
+
+What is become of the Gridiron, or of the Remains of
+that excellent Body of Men, Time will, I hope,
+discover. The World, I believe, must for such
+Discoveries be obliged to my very good Friend _J----
+T----_ Esq; who had the Honour to be Door-keeper to
+that Honourable Assembly.
+
+
+But to return to Sir _John_: The more his Wit engaged
+the King, the more his Grandeur alarm'd his Enemies,
+who encreas'd with his Honours. Not but the Courtiers
+caress'd him to a Man, as the first who had brought
+Dumpling-eating to Perfection. King _John_ himself
+lov'd him entirely; being of _Cesar_'s Mind, that is,
+he had a natural Antipathy against Meagre,
+Herring-gutted Wretches; he lov'd only _Fat-headed
+Men, and such who slept o' Nights_; and of such was
+his whole Court compos'd. Now it was Sir _John_'s
+Method, every _Sunday_ Morning, to give the Courtiers
+a Breakfast, which Breakfast was every Man his
+Dumpling and Cup of Wine; for you must know, he was
+Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at the same time.
+
+This was a great Eye-sore and Heart-burning to some
+Lubberly Abbots who loung'd about the Court; they took
+it in great Dudgeon they were not Invited, and stuck
+so close to his Skirts, that they never rested 'till
+they Outed him. They told the King, who was naturally
+very Hasty, that Sir _John_ made-away with his Wine,
+and feasted his Paramours at his Expence; and not only
+so, but that they were forming a Design against his
+Life, which they in Conscience ought to discover: That
+Sir _John_ was not only an Heretic, but an Heathen;
+nay worse, they fear'd he was a Witch, and that he had
+bewitcht His Majesty into that unaccountable Fondness
+for a _Pudding-Maker_. They assur'd the King, That on
+a _Sunday_ Morning, instead of being at Mattins, he
+and his Trigrimates got together Hum-jum, all snug,
+and perform'd many Hellish and Diabolical Ceremonies.
+In short, they made the King believe that the Moon was
+made of Green-Cheese: And to shew how the Innocent may
+be Bely'd, and the best Intentions misrepresented,
+they told the King, That He and his Associates offer'd
+Sacrifices to _Ceres_: When, alas, it was only the
+Dumplings they eat. The Butter which was melted and
+pour'd over them, these vile Miscreants call'd
+_Libations_: And the friendly Compotations of our
+Dumpling-eaters, were call'd _Bacchanalian Rites_. Two
+or three among 'em being sweet-tooth'd, wou'd strew a
+little Sugar over their Dumplings; this was
+represented as an _Heathenish Offering_. In short, not
+one Action of theirs, but what these Rascally Abbots
+made Criminal, and never let the King alone 'till poor
+Sir _John_ was Discarded. Not but the King did it with
+the greatest Reluctance; but they had made it a
+Religious Concern, and he cou'd not get off on't.
+
+But mark the Consequence: The King never enjoy'd
+himself after, nor was it long before he was poison'd
+by a Monk at _Swineshead_ Abbey. Then too late he saw
+his Error; then he lamented the Loss of Sir _John_;
+and in his latest Moments wou'd cry out, Oh! that I
+had never parted from my dear _Jack Pudding_! Wou'd I
+had never left off Pudding and Dumpling! I then had
+never been thus basely Poison'd! never thus
+treacherously sent out of the World!----Thus did this
+good King lament: But, alas, to no Purpose, the Priest
+had given him his Bane, and Complaints were
+ineffectual.
+
+Sir _John_, in the mean time, had retir'd into
+_Norfolk_, where his diffusive Knowledge extended it
+self for the Good of the County in general; and from
+that very Cause _Norfolk_ has ever since been so
+famous for Dumplings. He lamented the King's Death to
+his very last; and was so cautious of being poison'd
+by the Priests, that he never touch'd a Wafer to the
+Day of his Death; And had it not been that some of the
+less-designing part of the Clergy were his intimate
+Friends, and eat daily of his Dumplings, he had
+doubtless been Made-away with; but they stood in the
+Gap for him, for the sake of his Dumplings, knowing
+that when Sir _John_ was gone, they should never have
+the like again.
+
+But our facetious Knight was too free of his Talk to
+be long secure; for a Hole was pick'd in his Coat in
+the succeeding Reign, and poor Sir _John_ had all his
+Goods and Chattels forfeited to the King's Use. It was
+then time for him to bestir himself; and away to Court
+he goes, to recover his Lands, _&c._ not doubting but
+he had Friends there sufficient to carry his Cause.
+
+But alas! how was he mistaken; not a Soul there knew
+him; the very Porters used him rudely. In vain did he
+seek for Access to the King, to vindicate his Conduct.
+In vain did he claim Acquaintance with the Lords of
+the Court; and reap up old Civilities, to remind 'em
+of former Kindness; the Pudding was eat, the
+Obligation was over: Which made Sir _John_ compose
+that excellent Proverb, _Not a word of the Pudding_.
+And finding all Means ineffectual, he left the Court
+in a great Pet; yet not without passing a severe Joke
+upon 'em, in his way, which was this; He sent a
+Pudding to the King's Table, under the Name of a
+_Court-Pudding_, or _Promise-Pudding_. This Pudding he
+did not fail to set off with large Encomiums; assuring
+the King, That therein he wou'd find an Hieroglyphical
+Definition of Courtiers Promises and Friendship.
+
+This caused some Speculation; and the King's Physician
+debarr'd the King from tasting the Pudding, not
+knowing but that Sir _John_ had poison'd it.
+
+But how great a Fit of Laughter ensu'd, may be easily
+guess'd, when the Pudding was cut up, it prov'd only a
+large Bladder, just clos'd over with Paste: The
+Bladder was full of Wind, and nothing else, excepting
+these Verses written in a Roll of Paper, and put in,
+as is suppos'd, before the Bladder was blown full:
+
+  As Wynde in a Bladdere ypent,
+  is Lordings promyse and ferment;
+  fain what hem lust withouten drede,
+  they bene so double in her falshede:
+  For they in heart can think ene thing,
+  and fain another in her speaking:
+  and what was sweet and apparent,
+  is smaterlich, and eke yshent.
+  and when of service you have nede,
+  pardie he will not rein nor rede.
+  but when the Symnel it is eten,
+  her curtesse is all foryetten.
+
+This Adventure met with various Constructions from
+those at Table: Some Laugh'd; others Frown'd. But the
+King took the Joke by the right End, and Laugh'd
+outright.
+
+The Verses, tho' but scurvy ones in themselves, yet in
+those Days pass'd for tolerable: Nay, the King was
+mightily pleas'd with 'em, and play'd 'em off on his
+Courtiers as Occasion serv'd; he wou'd stop 'em short
+in the middle of a flattering Harangue, and cry, _Not
+a Word of the Pudding_. This wou'd daunt and mortify
+'em to the last degree; they curs'd Sir _John_ a
+thousand times over for the Proverb's sake: but to no
+Purpose; for the King gave him a private Hearing:
+In which he so well satisfy'd His Majesty of his
+Innocence and Integrity, that all his Lands were
+restor'd. The King wou'd have put him in his old Post;
+but he modestly declin'd it, but at the same time
+presented His Majesty with a Book of most excellent
+Receipts for all kinds of Puddings: Which Book His
+Majesty receiv'd with all imaginable Kindness, and
+kept it among his greatest Rarities.
+
+But yet, as the best Instructions, tho' never so
+strictly followed, may not be always as successfully
+executed, so not one of the King's Cooks cou'd make a
+Pudding like Sir _John_; nay, tho' he made a Pudding
+before their Eyes, yet they out of the very same
+Materials could not do the like. Which made his old
+Friends the Monks attribute it to Witchcraft, and it
+was currently reported the Devil was his Helper. But
+good King _Harry_ was not to be fobb'd off so; the
+Pudding was good, it sate very well on his Stomach,
+and he eat very savourly, without the least Remorse of
+Conscience.
+
+In short, Sir _John_ grew in Favour in spite of their
+Teeth: The King lov'd a merry Joke; and Sir _John_ had
+always his Budget full of Punns, Connundrums and
+Carrawitchets; not to forgot the Quibbles and
+Fly-flaps he play'd against his Adversaries, at which
+the King has laugh'd 'till his Sides crackt.
+
+Sir _John_, tho' he was no very great Scholar, yet had
+a happy way of Expressing himself: He was a Man of the
+most Engaging Address, and never fail'd to draw
+Attention: Plenty and Good-Nature smil'd in his Face;
+his Muscles were never distorted with Anger or
+Contemplation, but an eternal Smile drew up the
+Corners of his Mouth; his very Eyes laugh'd; and as
+for his Chin it was three-double, a-down which hung a
+goodly Whey-colour'd Beard shining with the Drippings
+of his Luxury; for you must know he was a great
+Epicure, and had a very Sensible Mouth; he thought
+nothing too-good for himself, all his Care was for his
+Belly; and his Palate was so exquisite, that it was
+the perfect Standard of Tasting. So that to him we owe
+all that is elegant in Eating: For Pudding was not his
+only Talent, he was a great Virtuoso in all manner of
+Eatables; and tho' he might come short of _Lambert_
+for Confectionary-Niceties, yet was he not inferiour
+to _Brawnd_, _Lebec_, _Pede_, or any other great
+Masters of Cookery; he could toss up a Fricassee as
+well as a Pancake: And most of the Kickshaws now in
+vogue, are but his Inventions, with other Names; for
+what we call _Fricassees_, he call'd _Pancakes_; as,
+a Pancake of Chickens, a Pancake of Rabbets, _&c._
+Nay, the _French_ call a Pudding an _English_
+Fricassee, to this Day.
+
+We value our selves mightily for Roasting a Hare with
+a Pudding in its Belly; when alas he has roasted an Ox
+with a Pudding in his Belly. There was no Man like him
+for Invention and Contrivance: And then for Execution,
+he spar'd no Labour and Pains to compass his
+magnanimous Designs.
+
+O wou'd to Heav'n this little Attempt of Mine may stir
+up some _Pudding-headed Antiquary_ to dig his Way
+through all the mouldy Records of Antiquity, and bring
+to Light the Noble Actions of Sir _John_! It will not
+then be long before we see him on the Stage. Sir _John
+Falstaffe_ then will be a Shrimp to Sir _John
+Pudding_, when rais'd from Oblivion and reanimated by
+the All-Invigorating Pen of the Well-Fed, Well-Read,
+Well-Pay'd _C-- J----_ Esq; Nor wou'd this be all; for
+the Pastry-Cooks wou'd from the Hands of an eminent
+Physician and Poet receive whole Loads of Memorandums,
+to remind 'em of the Gratitude due to Sir _John_'s
+Memory.
+
+On such a Subject I hope to see Sir _Richard_ Out-do
+himself. Nor _Arthur_ nor _Eliza_ shall with Sir
+_John_ compare. There is not so much difference
+between a Telescope and a Powder-Puff,
+a Hoop-Petty-Coat and a Farthing-Candle, a Birch-Broom
+and a Diamond-Ring, as there will be between the
+former Writings of this pair of Poets and their
+Lucubrations on this Head.
+
+Nor will it stop here: The _Opera_ Composers shall
+have t'other Contest, which shall best sing-forth his
+Praises. Sorry am I that _Nicolino_ is not here, he
+would have made an excellent Sir _John_. But
+_Senefino_, being blown up after the manner that
+Butchers blow Calves, may do well enough. From thence
+the Painters and Print-sellers shall retail his goodly
+Phiz; and what _Sacheverel_ was, shall Sir _John
+Pudding_ be; his Head shall hang Elate on every Sign,
+his Fame shall ring in every Street, and _Cluer_'s
+Press shall teem with Ballads to his Praise. This
+would be but Honour, this would be but Gratitude, from
+a Generation so much indebted to so Great a Man.
+
+But how much do we deviate from Honour and Gratitude,
+when we put other Names to his Inventions, and call
+'em our own? What is a Tart, a Pie, or a Pasty, but
+Meat or Fruit enclos'd in a Wall or Covering of
+Pudding. What is a Cake, but a Bak'd Pudding; or a
+_Christmas_-Pie, but a Minc'd-Meat-Pudding. As for
+Cheese-cakes, Custards, Tansies, they are manifest
+Puddings, and all of Sir _John_'s own Contrivance; for
+Custard is as old if not older than _Magna Charta_.
+In short, Pudding is of the greatest Dignity and
+Antiquity. Bread it self, which is the very Staff of
+Life, is, properly speaking, a Bak'd Wheat-Pudding.
+
+To the Satchel, which is the Pudding-Bag of Ingenuity,
+we are indebted for the greatest Men in Church and
+State. All Arts and Sciences owe their Original to
+Pudding or Dumpling. What is a Bag-Pipe, the Mother of
+all Music, but a Pudding of Harmony. And what is Music
+it self, but a Palatable Cookery of Sounds. To little
+Puddings or Bladders of Colours we owe all the choice
+Originals of the Greatest Painters: And indeed, what
+is Painting, but a well-spread Pudding, or Cookery of
+Colours.
+
+The Head of Man is like a Pudding: And whence have all
+Rhimes, Poems, Plots and Inventions sprang, but from
+that same Pudding. What is Poetry, but a Pudding of
+Words. The Physicians, tho' they cry out so much
+against Cooks and Cookery, yet are but Cooks
+themselves; with this difference only, the Cooks
+Pudding lengthens Life, the Physicians shortens it.
+So that we Live and Die by Pudding. For what is a
+Clyster, but a Bag-Pudding; a Pill, but a Dumpling;
+or a Bolus, but a Tansy, tho' not altogether so
+Toothsome. In a word; Physick is only a Puddingizing
+or Cookery of Drugs. The Law is but a Cookery of
+Quibbles and Contentions. [a] * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * is but a Pudding of * * * * * * * * *
+  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
+  * * *. Some swallow every thing whole and unmix'd;
+so that it may rather be call'd a Heap, than a
+Pudding. Others are so Squeamish, the greatest
+Mastership in Cookery is requir'd to make the Pudding
+Palatable: The Suet which others gape and swallow by
+Gobs, must for these puny Stomachs be minced to Atoms;
+the Plums must be pick'd with the utmost Care, and
+every Ingredient proportion'd to the greatest Nicety,
+or it will never go down.
+
+    [Footnote a: _The Cat run away with this part
+    of the Copy, on which the Author had unfortunately
+    laid some of Mother _Crump_'s Sausages._]
+
+The Universe it self is but a Pudding of Elements.
+Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republicks are but
+Puddings of People differently made up. The Celestial
+and Terrestrial Orbs are decypher'd to us by a pair of
+Globes or Mathematical Puddings.
+
+The Success of War and Fate of Monarchies are entirely
+dependant on Puddings and Dumplings: For what else are
+Cannon-Balls, but Military Puddings; or Bullets, but
+Dumplings; only with this difference, they do not sit
+so well on the Stomach as a good Marrow-Pudding or
+Bread-Pudding.
+
+In short, There is nothing valuable in Nature, but
+what, more or less, has an Allusion to Pudding or
+Dumpling. Why then should they be held in Disesteem?
+Why should Dumpling-Eating be ridicul'd, or
+Dumpling-Eaters derided? Is it not Pleasant and
+Profitable? Is it not Ancient and Honourable? Kings,
+Princes, and Potentates have in all Ages been Lovers
+of Pudding. Is it not therefore of Royal Authority?
+Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Deacons have,
+Time out of Mind, been great Pudding-Eaters: Is it not
+therefore a Holy and Religious Institution?
+Philosophers, Poets, and Learned Men in all Faculties,
+Judges, Privy-Councellors, and Members of both Houses,
+have, by their great Regard to Pudding, given a
+Sanction to it that nothing can efface. Is it not
+therefore Ancient, Honourable, and Commendable?
+
+  _Quare itaque fremuerunt Auctores?_
+
+Why do therefore the Enemies of good Eating, the
+Starve-gutted Authors of Grub-street, employ their
+impotent Pens against Pudding and Pudding-headed,
+_alias_ Honest Men? Why do they inveigh against
+Dumpling-Eating which is the Life and Soul of
+Good-fellowship, and Dumpling-Eaters who are the
+Ornaments of Civil Society.
+
+But, alas! their Malice is their own Punishment. The
+Hireling Author of a late scandalous Libel, intituled,
+_The Dumpling-Eaters Downfall_, may, if he has any
+Eyes, now see his Error, in attacking so Numerous,
+so August a Body of People: His Books remain Unsold,
+Unread, Unregarded; while this Treatise of Mine shall
+be Bought by all who love Pudding or Dumpling; to my
+Bookseller's great Joy, and my no small Consolation.
+How shall I Triumph, and how will that Mercenary
+Scribbler be Mortify'd, when I have sold more Editions
+of my Books, than he has Copies of his! I therefore
+exhort all People, Gentle and Simple, Men, Women and
+Children, to Buy, to Read, to Extol these Labours of
+Mine, for the Honour of Dumpling-Eating. Let them not
+fear to defend every Article; for I will bear them
+Harmless: I have Arguments good store, and can easily
+Confute, either Logically, Theologically, or
+Metaphysically, all those who dare Oppose me.
+
+Let not _Englishmen_ therefore be asham'd of the Name
+of _Pudding-Eaters_; but, on the contrary, let it be
+their Glory. For let Foreigners cry out ne'er so much
+against Good Eating, they come easily into it when
+they have been a little while in our _Land of Canaan_;
+and there are very few Foreigners among as who have
+not learn'd to make as great a Hole in a good Pudding
+or Sirloin of Beef as the best _Englishman_ of us all.
+
+Why shou'd we then be Laught out of Pudding and
+Dumpling? or why Ridicul'd out of Good Living? Plots
+and Politics may hurt us, but Pudding cannot. Let us
+therefore adhere to Pudding, and keep our selves out
+of Harm's Way; according to the Golden Rule laid down
+by a celebrated Dumpling-Eater now defunct;
+
+  _Be of your Patron's Mind, whate'er he says:
+  Sleep very much; Think little, and Talk less:
+  Mind neither Good nor Bad, nor Right nor Wrong;
+  But Eat your Pudding, Fool, and Hold your Tongue._
+      PRIOR.
+
+The Author of these excellent Lines not only shews his
+Wisdom, but his Good-Breeding, and great Esteem for
+the Memory of Sir _John_, by giving his _Poem_ the
+Title of _Merry Andrew_, and making _Merry Andrew_ the
+principal Spokesman: For if I guess aright, and surely
+I guess not wrong, his main Design was, to ascertain
+the Name of _Merry Andrew_ to the _Fool_ of a Droll,
+and to substitute it instead of _Jack Pudding_; which
+Name my Friend _Matt._ cou'd not hear with Temper, as
+carrying with it an oblique Reflection on Sir _John
+Pudding_ the Hero of this DUMPLEID.
+
+Let all those therefore who have any Regard to
+Politeness and Propriety of Speech, take heed how they
+Err against this Rule laid down by him who was the
+Standard of _English_ Elegance. And be it known to all
+whom it may concern, That if any Person whatever shall
+dare hereafter to apply the Name of _Jack Pudding_ to
+_Merry Andrews_ and such-like Creatures, I hereby
+Require and Impower any Stander or Standers by, to
+Knock him, her, or them down. And if any Action or
+Actions of Assault and Battery shall be brought
+against any Person or Persons so acting in pursuance
+of this most reasonable Request, by Knocking down,
+Bruising, Beating, or otherwise Demolishing such
+Offenders; I will Indemnify and bear them Harmless.

+  _Namby Pamby_ is no Clown,

+  Now he sings of _Lick-spit Liar
+  Burning in the Brimstone Fire;
+  Lyar, Lyar, Lick-spit, lick,
+  Turn about the Candle-stick_:
+  Now he sings of _Jacky Horner_
+  _Sitting in the Chimney corner,

+  Putting in, _Oh, fie!_ his Thumb,
+  Pulling out, _Oh, strange!_ a Plum._

+  Now he acts the _Grenadier_,
+  Calling for _a Pot of Beer_:

+  Now on _Cock-horse_ does he ride;
+  And anon on Timber stride.

+  _Pins a-piece to see his Show_;

+PREFACE
+
+
+It very much surprizes me that six Editions of a
+Mythological Pamphlet, entituled, _A Dissertation on
+Dumpling_, should escape your Notice of that wonderful
+Unriddler of Mysteries the ingenious Mr. _E---- C---_
+who has at the same Time given such Proofs of his
+Abilities in his many and most elaborate Keys to
+_Gulliver_'s Travels; Keys, which _Gulliver_ himself
+could never have found out! and withal, so pertinent,
+that I shall esteem those at the Helm, no great Lovers
+of Learning, if my Friend _Edmund_ be not forthwith
+promoted: for as the Sweetness of a Kernel is
+uncomatable, but by the Fracture of its Shell, so is
+the Beauty of a Mystery altogether hid, till the
+Expounder has riddlemayreed the Propounder's Problem,
+and render'd it obvious to the meanest Capacity.
+
+The only Plea I can use in Mr. _C----'s_ behalf, is,
+that the Author of the Dissertation has been a little
+too free with his Character, which probably occasioned
+that Sullenness in our _British Oedipus_; who in Order
+to be revenged, has determined not to embelish the
+Work with his Interpretation, but rather let it rot
+and perish in Oblivion.
+
+This, and nothing else, could be the Reason of so
+profound a Silence in so great a Mysterymonger,
+to remedy which Loss to the Publick, I an unworthy
+Scribler, and faint Copier of that great Artist,
+presume with aching Heart, and trembling Hand, to draw
+the Veil which shades the political Pamphlet in
+Question; and show it to my loving Countrymen in
+_Puris Naturalibus_.
+
+If I succeed in this, I hope Mr. _L----t_, who all the
+World knows is a rare Chap to his Authors, will
+speedily employ me to unriddle, or at least make a
+Plot to the _Rival Modes_, which it seems the Author
+has omitted: it is true, he ought to have given it the
+Bookseller with the Copy, but has not so done, which
+makes me wonder he is not sued for Breach of Covenant;
+but what is that to me, if I get a Job by the Bargain?
+Let Booksellers beware how they buy Plays without
+Plots for the future.
+
+I narrowly miss'd solving the Problem called _Wagner_
+and _Abericock_; Mr. _B----_ had spoke to Mr. _W----_
+to speak to Mr. _C----_, who had just consented to
+employ me, after having made me abate half my demand:
+But Houses running thin, _Colley_ had undertaken the
+Job himself to save Charges; intending at the same
+Time, to annex a severe Criticism on _Pluto_ and
+_Proserpine_.
+
+This, gentle Reader, will, I hope, induce you to look
+on me as a Writer of some Regard, and at the same
+Time, to make a little Allowance for whatever Errors
+my great Hurry may occasion, being obliged to write
+Night and Day, Sundays and working Days, without the
+least Assistance. All our Journeymen Writers being now
+turned Masters, I am left to shift for my self; but am
+bringing up my Wife to the Business, and doubt not but
+a long War, and our mutual Industry, may rub off old
+Scores, and make us begin a new Reckoning with all
+Mankind; Pamphleteering having been so dead for many
+Years last past, that (God forgive me!) I have been
+oftentimes tempted to write Treason for mere
+Sustenance.
+
+But Thanks to better Stars and better Days, the Pen
+revives, and Authors flourish; more Money can be made
+now of a Play, nay, though it be a scurvy One, than
+_Dryden_ got by all his Works. Therefore now or never
+is the Time to strike while the Iron is hot, to write
+my self out of Debt, and into Place, and then grow
+idle and laugh at the World, as my Betters have done
+before me.

+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+When a Book has met with Success, it never wants a
+Father; there being those good natured Souls in the
+World, who, rather than let Mankind think such
+Productions sprang of themselves, will own the
+Vagabond Brat, and thereby become Fathers of other
+Mens Offsprings.
+
+This was the Fate of Dumpling, whose real Father did
+not take more Care to conceal himself, than some did
+to be thought its Author; but if any one will
+recollect the Time of its Publication, they will find
+it within a Week after the Arrival of D----n _S----t_,
+from _Ireland_; the Occasion, as I am very well
+informed, was this, the D----n, one of the first
+Things he did, went to pay a Visit to Mr. _T----_, his
+old Bookseller; but, to his Surprize, found both the
+Brothers dead, and a Relation in the Shop, to whom he
+was an utter Stranger. Mr. _M----_ for such is this
+Person's Name, gathering from the D--n's Enquiries who
+he was, paid him his _Devoirs_ in the most respectful
+Manner, solicited his Friendship, and invited him to a
+Dinner, which the D----n was pleased to accept. By the
+Way, you must know, he is a great Lover of Dumpling,
+as well as the Bookseller, who had ordered one for
+himself, little dreaming of such a Guest that Day. The
+Dinner, as 'twas not provided on purpose, was but a
+Family one, well enough however for a Bookseller; that
+is to say, a couple of Fowls, Bacon and Sprouts
+boiled, and a Forequarter of Lamb roasted. After the
+usual Complements for the unexpected Honour, and the
+old Apology of wishing it was better for his sake:
+The Maid, silly Girl! came and asked her Master if he
+pleased to have his Dumpling; he would have chid her,
+but the D----n mollified him, insisting at the same
+Time, upon the Introduction of Dumpling, which
+accordingly was done. Dumpling gave Cause of
+Conversation, but not till it was eat; for the Reader
+must understand, that both the Gentlemen play a good
+Knife and Fork, and are too mannerly to talk with
+their Mouths full. The Dumpling eat, as I said before,
+the D----n drank to the Bookseller, the Bookseller to
+the Author, and with an obsequious Smile, seem'd to
+say ah! Dear Doctor, you have been a Friend to my
+Predecessor, can you do nothing for me? The D--n took
+the Hint, and after a profound Contemplation, cry'd,
+Why ay--Dumpling will do--put me in Mind of Dumpling
+anon, but not a Word more at present, and good Reason
+why, Dinner was coming in. So they past the rest of
+the Meal with great Silence and Application, and no
+doubt dined well. Far otherwise was it with me that
+Day: I remember to my Sorrow, I had a Hogs Maw,
+without Salt or Mustard; having at that Time, Credit
+with the Pork-Woman, but not with the Chandler: Times
+are since mended, _Amen_ to the Continuance!
+
+The D----n, having eat and drank plentifully, began
+his usual Pleasantries, and made the Bookseller
+measure his Ears with his Mouth; nay, burst his Sides
+with Laughter; however, he found Interval enough to
+remind the D----n of Dumpling, who asked him if he had
+a quick Hand at Writing: he excused himself, being
+naturally as Lazy as the other was Indolent, so they
+contrived to ease themselves by sending for a Hackney
+Writer out of _Temple Lane_ to be the D--'s
+_Amanuensis_, while he and his new Acquaintance
+crack'd t'other Bottle.
+
+This Account may be depended upon, because I had it
+from the Man himself, who scorns to tell a Lye.
+
+To be short, my Friend had the worst of it, being kept
+to hard Writing, without Drinking (Churls that they
+were) about three Hours; in which Time the
+Dissertation was finished, that is to say, from Page
+1. to Page 25. the rest might probably be done at some
+other leisure Time, to fill up the Chinks, but of that
+he knows nothing; sufficient is it that the D----n was
+the Author. Proceed we now to the other Discoveries,
+by drawing the Veil from before the Book it self.

+
+                    to the
+                  DISSERTATION
+
+                      on
+                  _DUMPLING_.
+
+
+I Shall begin with his Motto, which says, _What is
+better than a Pudding?_ The Body owns its Power, the
+Mind, its Delicacy; it will give Youth to grey Hairs,
+and Life to the most Desponding: Therefore are Pudding
+Eaters of great Use in State Affairs.
+
+This Quotation is of a Piece with his Motto to the
+Tale of a Tub, and other Writings; altogether
+Fictitious and Drole: he adds to the Jest, by putting
+an Air of Authority or genuine Quotation from some
+great Author; when alas! the whole is mere Farce and
+Invention.
+
+The Dedication is one continued Sneer upon Authors,
+and their Patrons, and seems to carry a Glance of
+Derision towards Men of Quality in General; by setting
+a Cook above them, as a more useful Member in a body
+Politick. Some will have this _Braund_, to be Sir
+****, others Sir ****, others Sir ****; but I take it
+to be more Railery than Mystery, and that Mr.
+_Braund_, at the _Rummer_ in _Queen-street_, is the
+Person; who having pleas'd the Author in two or three
+Entertainments, he, with a View truly _Epicurean_,
+constitutes him his _Maecenas_; as being more agreeable
+to him than a whole Circle of Stars and Garters, of
+what Colour or Denomination soever.
+
+In his Tale of a Tub, he has a fling at Dependance,
+and Attendance, where he talks of a Body worn out with
+Poxes ill cured, and Shooes with Dependance, and
+Attendance. Not having the Book by me, I am forced to
+quote at Random, but I hope the courteous Reader will
+bear me out. He complains of it again in this
+Treatise, and makes a Complement to Mr. _Austin_, Mr.
+_Braund_'s late Servant; who keeps the _Braund_'s Head
+in _New Bond-street_, near _Hanover-Square_; a House
+of great Elegance, and where he used frequently to
+dine.
+
+The Distinction of _Brand_, _Braund_, and _Barnes_, is
+a Banter on Criticks, and Genealogists, who make such
+a Pother about the Orthography of Names and Things,
+that many Times, three Parts in four of a Folio
+Treatise, is taken up in ascertaining the Propriety of
+a Syllable, by which Means the Reader is left
+undetermined; having nothing but the various Readings
+on a single Word, and that probably, of small
+Importance.
+
+I heartily wish some of these Glossographists would
+oblige the World with a Folio Treatise or two, on the
+Word Rabbet: We shall then know whether it is to be
+spelt with an _e_, or an _i_. For, to the Shame of the
+_English_ Tongue and this learned Age, our most
+eminent Physicians, Surgeons, Anatomists and Men
+Midwives, have all been to seek in this Affair.
+
+  St. _Andre_,    }
+  _Howard_,       } Spell it
+  _Braithwaite_,  } with
+  _Ahlers_ and    } an _e_.
+  _Manningham_,   }
+
+  _Douglas_       }
+   and the        } Spell it
+   Gentleman who  } with
+   calls himself  } an _i_.
+  _Gulliver_,     }
+
+And some of these great Wits, have such short
+Memories, that they spell it both Ways in one and the
+same Page.
+
+The Master-Key to this Mystery, is the Explanation of
+its Terms; for Example, by _Dumpling_ is meant a
+Place, or any other Reward or Encouragement.
+A _Pudding_ signifies a P----t, and sometimes a
+C----tee. A _Dumpling Eater_, is a Dependant on the
+Court, or, in a Word, any one who will rather pocket
+an Affront than be angry at a Tip in Time. A _Cook_ is
+a Minister of State. The _Epicurean_ and _Peripatetic_
+Sects, are the two Parties of _Whigg_ and _Tory_, who
+both are greedy enough of Dumpling.
+
+The Author cannot forbear his old Sneer upon
+Foreigners, but says, in his 1st Page, "That finding
+it a Land of Plenty, they wisely resolved never to go
+home again," and in his 2d, "Nay, so zealous are they
+in the Cause of _Bacchus_, that one of the Chief among
+them, made a Vow never to say his Prayers till he has
+a Tavern of his own in every Street in _London_, and
+in every Market-Town in _England_:" If he does not
+mean Sir J---- T---- I know not who he means.
+
+By the Invention of _Eggs_, Page 4. is meant
+Perquisites. "He cannot conclude a Paragraph in his
+5th _Page_, without owning he received that important
+Part of the History of Pudding, from old Mr.
+_Lawrence_ of _Wilsden Green_, the greatest Antiquary
+of the present Age."
+
+This old _Lawrence_ is a great Favourite of the D--s;
+he is a facetious farmer, of above eighty Years of
+Age, now living at _Wilsden Green_, near _Kilburn_ in
+_Middlesex_, the most rural Place I ever saw: exactly
+like the Wilds of _Ireland_. It was here the
+D--n often retired _incog._ to amuse himself with the
+Simplicity of the Place and People; where he got
+together all that Rigmayroll of Childrens talk, which
+composes his _Namby Pamby_. Old _Lawrence_ told me,
+the D--n has sate several Hours together to see the
+Children play, with the greatest Pleasure in Life: The
+rest he learned from the old Nurses thereabouts, of
+which there are a great many, with whom he would go
+and smoke a Pipe frequently, and cordially; not in
+his Clergyman's Habit, but in a black Suit of Cloth
+Clothes, and without a Rose in his Hat: Which made
+them conclude him to be a Presbyterian Parson.
+
+This Mention of old _Lawrence_, is in Ridicule to a
+certain great Artist, who wrote a Treatise upon the
+Word _Connoisseur_ (or a Knower) and confesses himself
+to have been many Years at a loss for a Word to
+express the Action of Knowing, till the great Mr.
+_Prior_ gave him Ease, by furnishing him with the Word
+_Connoissance_. Our D--n had drawn a Drole, Parallel
+to this, _viz._ _Boudineur_, a Pudding Pyeman; and
+_Boudinance_, the making of Pudding Pies: But several
+Men of Quality begging it off, it was, at their
+Request, scratch'd out, but my Friend, the
+_Amanuensis_, remembers particularly its being
+originally inserted.
+
+If the Reader should ask, Who is that K-- _John_
+mentioned in the fourth Page, and which I ought to
+have taken in its Place. I beg leave to inform him,
+that by K. _John_ is meant the late Q. ----, with whom
+the D-- of _M----_ was many Years in such great
+Favour, that he was nick named K. _John_; it was in
+that Part of the Q--'s Reign, that Sir _John_ Pudding,
+by whom is meant **** _you know who_, came in Favour;
+it is true, the Name is odd, and seems to carry an Air
+of Ridicule with it, but the Character given him by
+this allegorical Writer, is that of an able Statesman,
+and an honest Man.
+
+And here, begging Mr. D--n's Pardon, I cannot but
+think his Wit has out run his Judgment; for he puts
+the Cart before the Horse, and begins at the latter
+Part of Sir **** Administration: But this might be
+owing to too plentiful a Dinner, and too much of the
+Creature. Be that as it will, I must follow my Copy,
+and explain it as it lies. Proceed we therefore to the
+Dissertation, _Page 6._
+
+"But what rais'd our Hero most in the Esteem of this
+Pudding-eating Monarch, was his second Edition of
+Pudding, he being the first that ever invented the Art
+of broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection,
+and so much to the King's liking (who had a mortal
+Aversion to cold Pudding) that he thereupon instituted
+him Knight of the Gridiron, and gave him a Gridiron of
+Gold, the Ensign of that Order; which he always wore
+as a Mark of his Sovereign's Favour."
+
+If this does not mean the late Revival of an ancient
+Order of Knighthood, I never will unriddle Mystery
+more: To prove which, we need but cross over to the
+next Page, where he tells us, "Sir _John_ had always a
+Squire, who followed him, bearing a huge Pair of
+Spectacles to saddle his Honour's Nose." _Diss.
+Page 7._
+
+After this, he very severely runs upon those would-be
+Statesmen, who put themselves in Competition with his
+Favourite, Sir ****, with whom he became exceeding
+intimate, and almost inseperable, all the Time he was
+in _England_.
+
+The Story of the Kit Cat Club, _Dick Estcourt_, and
+_Jacob Tonson_, is a mere Digression; and nothing more
+to the Purpose, than that we may imagine it came
+uppermost. He returns to his Subject in his 9th
+_Page_.
+
+"Now it was Sir _John_'s Method, every _Sunday_
+Morning, to give the Courtiers a Breakfast; which
+Breakfast was every Man his Dumpling, and Cup of Wine:
+For you must know, he was Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at
+the same Time."
+
+The Breakfast is Sir *** Levee, the Yeomanship of the
+Wine-Cellar, is the ***.
+
+The Author of the Dissertation, is a very bad
+Chronologist; for at _Page_ 10. we are obliged to go
+back to the former Reign, where we shall find the
+lubberly Abbots (_i.e._) the High Church Priests,
+misrepresenting Sir _John_'s Actions, and never let
+the Q---- alone, till poor Sir _John_ was discarded.
+
+"This was a great Eye-sore, and Heart-burning to some
+lubberly Abbots, who lounged about the Court; they
+took it in great Dudgeon they were not invited, and
+stuck so close to his Skirts, that they never rested
+till they outed him. They told the King, who was
+naturally very hasty, that Sir _John_, made-away with
+his Wine, and feasted his _Paramours_ at his Expence;
+and not only so, but they were forming a Design
+against his Life, which they in Conscience ought to
+discover: That Sir _John_ was not only an Heretic, but
+an Heathen; nay, worse, they fear'd he was a Witch,
+and that he had bewitch'd his Majesty into that
+unaccountable Fondness for a _Pudding-Maker_. They
+assured the King, that on a _Sunday_ Morning, instead
+of being at Mattins, he and his Trigrimates got
+together hum jum, all snug, and perform'd many hellish
+and diabolical Ceremonies. In short, they made the
+King believe that the Moon was made of Green-Cheese:
+And to shew how the Innocent may be bely'd, and the
+best Intentions misrepresented, they told the King,
+That he and his Associates offered Sacrifices to
+_Ceres_: When, alas, it was only the Dumplings they
+eat.
+
+"The Butter which was melted and poured over them,
+these vile Miscreants, called _Libations_: And the
+friendly Compotations of our Dumpling Eaters, were
+called _Bacchanalian Rites_. Two or three among them
+being sweet tooth'd, would strew a little Sugar over
+their Dumplings; this was represented as an
+_Heathenish Offering_. In short, not one Action of
+theirs, but which these rascally Abbots made criminal,
+and never let the King alone till Sir _John_ was
+discarded; not but the King did it with the greatest
+Reluctance; but they made it a religious Concern, and
+he could not get off on't." _Diss. pag._ 10.
+
+All the World knows that the _Tory_ Ministry got
+uppermost, for the four last Years of the Queen's
+Reign, and by their unaccountable Management, teaz'd
+that good Lady out of her Life: Which occasion'd the
+D--n in his eleventh Page to say; "Then too late he
+saw his Error; then he lamented the Loss of Sir
+_John_; and in his latest Moments, would cry out, Oh!
+that I had never parted from my dear _Jack-Pudding_!
+Would I had never left off Pudding and Dumpling! then
+I had never been thus basely poison'd! never thus
+treacherously sent out of the World!----Thus did this
+good King lament: But alas! to no purpose, the Priest
+had given him his Bane, and Complaints were
+ineffectual."
+
+This alludes to Sir **** Imprisonment and Disgrace in
+the Year ---- Nay, so barefaced is the D--n in his
+Allegory, that he tells us, in his 12th Page,
+_Norfolk_ was his Asylum. This is as plain as the Nose
+on a Man's Face! The subsequent Pages are an exact
+Description of the Ingratitude of Courtiers; and his
+Fable of the _Court Pudding_, Page 13. is the best
+Part of the whole Dissertation.
+
+One would imagine the D--n had been at Sea, by his
+writing Catharping-Fashion, and dodging the Story
+sometimes Twenty-Years backwards, at other Times
+advancing as many; so that one knows not where to have
+him: for in his fifteenth Page, he returns to the
+present Scene of Action, and brings his Hero into the
+Favour of K---- _Harry_, _alias_ **** who being
+sensible of his Abilities, restores him into Favour,
+and makes Use of his admirable Skill in Cookery,
+_alias_ State Affairs.
+
+"Not one of the King's Cooks could make a Pudding like
+Sir _John_; nay, though he made a Pudding before their
+Eyes, yet they, out of the very same Materials, could
+not do the like: Which made his old Friends, the
+Monks, attribute it to Witchcraft and it was currently
+reported the Devil was his Helper. But good King
+_Harry_ was not to be fobb'd off so; the Pudding was
+good, it sat very well on his Stomach, and he eat very
+savourly, without the least Remorse of Conscience."
+_Diss. Page_ 15.
+
+This seems to hint at the Opposition Sir **** met with
+from the contrary Party, and how sensible the K----
+was, that they were all unable to hold the Staff in
+Competition with him.
+
+After this the D--n runs into a whimsical Description
+of his Heroes personal Virtues; but draws the Picture
+too much _Alla Carraccatura_, and is, in my Opinion,
+not only a little too familiar, but wide of his
+Subject. For begging his Deanship's Pardon, he
+mightily betrays his Judgment, when he says, Sir
+_John_ was no very great Scholar, whereas all Men of
+Learning allow him to be a most excellent one; but as
+we may suppose he grew pretty warm by this Time with
+the Booksellers Wine, he got into his old Knack of
+Raillery, and begins to run upon all Mankind: In this
+Mood he falls upon _C---- J----n_, and Sir _R----
+Bl----re_, a pair of twin Poets, who suck'd one and
+the same Muse. After this he has a Fling at _Handel_,
+_Bononcini_ and _Attilio_, the Opera Composers; and a
+severe Sneer on the late High-Church Idol,
+_Sacheverel_. As for _Cluer_, the Printer, any Body
+that knows Music, or _Bow Church Yard_, needs no
+farther Information.
+
+And now he proceeds to a Digression, which is indeed
+the Dissertation it self; proving all Arts and
+Sciences to owe their Origin and Existence to
+_Pudding_ and _Dumpling_ (_i.e._) Encouragement. His
+_Hiatus_ in the 20th Page, I could, but dare not
+Decypher.
+
+In his 22nd Page, he lashes the Authors who oppose the
+Government; such as the _Craftsman_, _Occasional
+Writer_, and other Scribblers, past, present, and to
+come. _The Dumpling-Eaters Downfal_, is a Title of his
+own Imagination; I have run over all _Wilford_'s
+Catalogues, and see no Mention made of such a Book:
+All that Paragraph therefore is a mere Piece of
+Rablaiscism.
+
+In his 23d Page, he has another confounded Fling at
+Foreigners; and after having determinately dubb'd his
+Hero, the Prince of Statesmen, he concludes his
+Dissertation with a Mess of Drollery, and goes off in
+a Laugh.
+
+In a Word, the whole Dissertation seems calculated to
+ingratiate the D--n in Sir **** Favour; he draws the
+Picture of an able and an honest Minister, painful in
+his Countries Service, and beloved by his Prince; yet
+oftentimes misrepresented and bely'd: Nay, sometimes
+on the Brink of Ruin, but always Conqueror. The Fears,
+the Jealousies, the Misrepresentations of an enraged
+and disappointed Party, give him no small Uneasiness
+to see the Ingratitude of some Men, the Folly of
+others, who shall believe black to be white, because
+prejudiced and designing Knaves alarm 'em with false
+Fears. We see every Action misconstrued, and Evil made
+out of Good; but as the best Persons and Things are
+subject to Scandal and Ridicule; so have they the
+Pleasure of Triumphing in the Truth, which always will
+prevail.
+
+I take the Allegory of this Dissertation to be partly
+Historical, partly Prophetical; the D--n seeming to
+have carried his View, not only to the present, but
+even, succeeding Times. He sets his Hero down at last
+in Peace, Plenty, and a happy Retirement, not
+unrelented by his Prince; his Honesty apparent, his
+Enemies baffled and confounded, and his Measures made
+the Standard of good Government; and a Pattern for all
+just Ministers to follow.
+
+Thus, gentle Reader, have I, at the Expence of these
+poor Brains, crack'd this thick Shell, and given thee
+the Kernel. If any should object, and say this
+Exposition is a Contradiction to the D--n's
+Principles; I assure such Objector, that the D--n is
+an errant _Whig_ by Education, and Choice: He may
+indeed cajole the _Tories_ with a Belief that he is of
+their Party; but it is all a Joke, he is a _Whig_, and
+I know him to be so; Nay more, I can prove it, and
+defy him to contradict me; did he not just after his
+Arrival and Promotion in _Ireland_, writing to one of
+his intimate Friends in _London_, conclude his Letter
+in this Manner?
+
+_Thus Dear **** from all that has occur'd, you must
+conclude me a _Tory_ in every Thing, but my Principle,
+which is yet as unmoved, as, that I am,_
+
+  Yours, _&c._
+
+This Letter, his Tale of a Tub, and in a Word, all his
+Invectives against Enthusiasm and Priestcraft, plainly
+prove him to be no _Tory_; and if his Intimacy, not
+only with Sir **** himself, but most of the prime Men
+in the Ministry, cannot prove him a _Whig_, I have no
+more to say.

+_Advertisement to the _Curious_._
+
+
+The Author is Night and Day at Work (in order to get
+published before the _Spaniards_ have raised the Siege
+of _Gibraltar_) a Treatise, entituled, _Truth brought
+to light, _or_ D--n _S----t_'s _Wilsden_ Prophecy
+unfolded_; being a full Explanation of a Prophetical
+Poem, called _Namby Pamby_, which, by most People,
+is taken for a Banter on an eminent Poet, now in
+_Ireland_; when in Fact, it is a true Narrative of the
+Siege of _Gibraltar_, the Defeat of the _Spaniards_,
+and Success of the _British_ Arms. The Author doubts
+not in this Attempt to give manifest Proof of his
+Abilities, and make it apparent to all Mankind, that
+he can see as clearly through a Milstone, as any other
+Person can through the best Optic _Martial_ or
+_Scarlet_ ever made; and that there is more in many
+Things, not taken Notice of, than the Generality of
+People are aware of.

+NOTES TO _DUMPLING_
+
+
+Pp. [ii].2-[iii].25. The information on Brand, Braund, and Marsh is
+confirmed by records in the Willesdon Public Library and by Lyson's
+_County of Middlesex_.
+
+P.2.30-31. Carey also attacks the Freemasons and Gormogons in _Poems_,
+ed. Wood, p. 118.
+
+P.5.3. Old Mr. Lawrence is mentioned several times (see particularly
+_Key_, pp. 16-17). There was a farmer Lawrence of 70 in Willesdon at the
+time, but I have found no direct connection with an antiquary, with
+Swift's Namby Pamby talk (see _OED_ under _Namby Pamby_) and his
+_Wilsden Prophecy_; nor with Jonathan Richardson (see note to _Key_,
+p. 17). On another level, the laziness attributed to Swift (_Key_,
+p. viii) and the gridiron here connected with the Kit Cat club are both
+commonly associated with Saint Lawrence.

+P.6.11-12. "Bull and Mouth" refers to a tavern known as the Boulogne
+Mouth (John Timbs, _Clubs and Club Life in London_ [London, 1872],
+p. 529).
+
+Pp.6.13-9.6. Knight of the Gridiron: Walpole was a member of the Kit
+Cat club, which originally met at the pie shop of Christopher Cat in
+Shire Lane. The "Second Edition" probably refers to the fact that the
+Order of the Bath was reintroduced for Walpole's benefit in June 1724.
+(See also _Key_, p. 19.) There is intentional confusion with Estcourt,
+who as providore of the Beefsteak club wore about his neck a small
+gridiron of silver and was made a Knight of Saint Lawrence. The Knights
+of the Toast were an associated group. The gridiron is a symbol both of
+gormandizing and of the roasting of Saint Lawrence.
+
+P.9.9. J[acob] T[onson], the publisher, founded the Kit Cat club which
+also met at Tonson's home in Barns Elms, and in Hampstead (which was
+only a few miles northeast of Willesdon).
+
+P.11.15-18. King John is reputed either to have been poisoned or to
+have died from overeating at Swineshead Abbey (18-19 October 1216).
+
+Pp.14.15-16.24. See also _Key_, pp. 25-26. King Harry, at this point,
+would appear to be George I, with either Walpole or Marlborough as Sir
+John Pudding. Nevertheless, there are carefully interpolated overtones
+regarding Falstaff and Hal. "One knows not where to have him" (_Key_,
+p. 25) is one of several apt Shakespearian allusions in the work.
+
+Pp.17.25-18.26. In _Dumpling_, pp. 17-18, and _Key_, pp. 26-27, the
+references are to the writers Sir R[ichard] B[lackmore] and C[harles]
+J[ohnso]n; opera in the hands of Nicolino, Senesino, Handel, Buononcini
+and Attilio; the high-church idol, Sacheverel (d. 1724); the _Craftsman_
+(founded to attack Walpole) and the _Occasional Writer_ (Bolingbroke's 4
+pamphlets of Jan/Feb. 1727); and finally the discredited music printer,
+Cluer. Carey's relationship to opera was ambivalent, but in _Mocking is
+Catching_ he strongly attacked Senesino.
+
+P.24.5-29. Matt. Prior (d. 1721), despite his aristocratic pretensions,
+had been earlier associated with the Rummer Tavern. He was a member of
+the Kit Cat club until he became a Tory for Dumpling.
+
+P.[32].28. E[dmund] C[url] of the "ADVERTISEMENT" was a publisher
+notorious for stealing material. Carey complained frequently of his
+writings having been "fathered" by others.
+
+
+NOTES TO THE _KEY_
+
+Title Page. "J. W.": Dr. Wood suggests this is the fictitious John
+Walton of the "Proposals" at the end of _Dumpling_. My own preference is
+for Dr. John Woodward, the famous antiquarian and physician. As late as
+Fielding's "Dedication" to _Shamela_, Woodward was being mocked for
+suggesting that the "Gluttony [which] is owing to the great
+Multiplication of Pastry-Cooks in the City" has "Led to the Subversion
+of Government...." (See Woodward's _The State of Physick and of
+Diseases_ [London, 1718], pp. 194-196 and 200-201. Compare this with
+_Dumpling_, pp. 22-23, on the _Dumpling-Eaters Downfall_, also pp. 9 and
+16, and _Key_, p. 17.) Swift deals with "repletion" in _Gulliver's
+Travels_ (ed. Herbert Davis [Oxford, 1941], pp. 253-254 and 262).
+
+P.iii.1-22. L[intot] was Pope's publisher. B[ooth], W[ilks], and
+C[ibber] were the managers of Drury Lane. _The London Stage, Part 2:
+1700-1729_, ed. Emmett L. Avery (Carbondale, Ill., 1960), shows that
+J. M. Smythe's _Rival Modes_ was first played 27 January 1727 at Drury
+Lane; John Thurmond's pantomime _The Miser: Or Wagner and Abericock_ was
+first played 30 December 1726 at Drury Lane; and Lun's pantomimes
+_Harlequin a Sorcerer: With The Loves of Pluto and Proserpine_ and _The
+Rape of Proserpine_ were first played at the Lincoln's Inn Fields
+Theatre 21 January 1725 and 13 February 1727 respectively.
+
+P.iv.16-25. The preface ends on a similar note to Carey's _Of Stage
+Tyrants_ (p. 108).
+
+P.[v].3-4. To "it never wants a Father," compare _Of Stage Tyrants_
+(p. 107).
+
+P.vi.1-9. Swift's "old Bookseller" had been T[ooke] (though there may
+be overtones here regarding Tonson). His new publisher was [Benjamin]
+M[otte].
+
+Pp.viii.24-ix.14. The "Hackney Writer out of _Temple Lane_" could very
+well be Carey. (See Carey's _Records of Love_ [London, 1710], pp. 175,
+93, and 104.)
+
+P.13.6-9. Carey's poem "The Plague of Dependence" cautions: "You may
+dance out your shoes in attendance;/ [while you] .... wait for a court
+dependence" (p. 90).
+
+Pp.14.7-15.2. Here Carey cleverly ties in Swift's surgeon Gulliver,
+through the "Pancake of Rabbets" (_Dumpling_, p. 17), with the topical
+and notorious case of Mary Tofts, who in November 1726 was "delivered"
+of fifteen rabbits. All the people mentioned were connected with this
+case. Nathaniel St. Andre was the surgeon and anatomist to the King,
+and Cyriacus Ahlers the King's private surgeon; John Howard was the
+apothecary. The imposture was finally brought to light before Sir
+Richard Manningham (the famous man-midwife who probably influenced
+Sterne) and Dr. James Douglas. Among the many contemporary pamphlets on
+this subject is one by Thomas Braithwaite.
+
+Pp.16.14-17.13. The following is a very revealing quotation from
+records in the Willesdon Public Library under F. A. Wood [not Dr. F. T.
+Wood], _Willesdon_ I, 99: "These nurse children must have been sent from
+workhouses round Willesdon ... the parish must have become a baby
+farm.... The large number of deaths between 1702 and 1727 ought to have
+caused some official enquiry, which probably did take place, as after
+1727 they soon ceased altogether."
+
+P.17.14-22. See Jonathan Richardson, _Works_, Strawberry Hill Press
+(London, 1792), pp. 198-199: "...had the honour of a letter ... the term
+_Connoisance_ was used.... I must not conceal the name it was Mr.
+Prior." Richardson, a frequent visitor to Hampstead, painted both Prior
+and Pope. His essay on "The Connoisseur" was frequently published.
+
+P.18.6-22. See also p. 24 and _passim_. Robert Walpole was born and
+died at Houghton in Norfolk; he was helped up by Marlborough but lost
+power with him under the Tories. Walpole went to the Tower for five
+months in 1712 before going to his home county, where Defoe calls him
+"King Walpole in Norfolk."
+
+P.24.19-20. The "Fable of the _Court Pudding_" (see also _Dumpling_,
+pp. 13-14) ties together both meanings of the scatological Latin-English
+pun on the title page of _Dumpling_.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
