Notes: 'Verses written on Mr Brand and Mr Peake's pamphlets in defence of J. Hunter. / When Hunter first his Book produced, / His readers were his minions, / Each glaring Error they excused, / Nor canvassed his Opinions. // But Foot with critic skill perused, / And warn'd the rising youth, / He saw great Authors much abus'd, / And more of whim than truth. // Then Hunter let his puppets fly / A motley, mongrel band. / Peake Druggist to her [?] Majesty, / And bandage making Brand. // Such weak opponents Foot disdains / And owns them very small / For Peake he knows has little Brains / And Brand has none at all, / And Brand has none at all.' - annotation on p. [VIII]
