IN the year 1700, J. Roberts, a 

 London publisher, issued a 

 pamphlet of about fifty pages 

 which was made up as follows : 



Poem upon Tea in Two Cantos 34 pages 



Dedication of the poem 6 



Preface to the poem 2 



Poem upon the poem 1 



Introduction to the poem 4 



To the author upon the poem 1 



Postscript 3 



Tea-Table 2 



The poem piece de resistance 

 which is by one Nahum Tate, who 

 figures on the title-page as " Servant 

 to His Majesty," is an allegory ; and 

 although good in spots is too long 

 and too dry to reproduce here. "The 

 poem upon the poem/' " The Intro- 

 duction," and the " Tea-Table " 

 verses will be found interesting and 

 entertaining.
