Table of Contents

The Lilliputian Magazine Young Gentleman & Lady’s Golden Library
Abstract
In most of our modern books, a preface has been introduced in conformity to custom; but here twill be found necessary to explain the work.

The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes Otherwise called, Mrs. Margery Two-Shoes
Abstract
All the World must allow, that Two Shoes was not her real Name. No; her Father’s Name was Meanwell;1 and he was for many Years a considerable Farmer in the Parish where Margery was born; but by the Misfortunes which he met with in Business, and the wicked Persecutions of Sir Timothy Gripe, and an over-grown Farmer called Graspall, he was effectually ruined.

The Fairing: or, A Golden Toy, for Children of all Sizes and Denominations
Abstract
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Who do I laugh at? Why, at you, Mr. Critic; who should I laugh at? A Critic is like a Currycomb, 2 and gives pleasure before he occasions Pain.
M. O. Grenby
