The DNB article on Edward or 'Ned Ward', as he is frequently called, states that he 'imitated Butler's 'Hudibras' both in his style and his attacks on the whigs and low-church party. Though vulgar and often grossly coarse, his writings throw considerablelight on the social life of the time of Queen Anne, and especially on the habits of various classes in London; but much allowance has to be made for exaggeration' [citing from Gent. Mag., October 1857]
