Synopsis

A Serio-Comic And Admonitory Epistle, Addressed To A Certain Priest.. To Which Is Prefixed, An Address To The Reader, Respecting Some Late Conduct Of The Rev. C- B-, Curate Of W-. By Anthony Pasquin, Esquire This 1793 satirical pamphlet by Anthony Pasquin presents a burlesque epistolary attack on a local clergyman, the Rev. C- B- (Curate of W-), and on public critics. Mixing verse and prose, the work features prefatory address to readers, an Exordium, and an Epistle to the Critics, along with poems such as an Amatory Ode and other mock-heroic pieces. Pasquin uses satire to expose perceived clerical vanity, patronage, and hypocrisy, while also commenting on print culture and political currents of the time, including reflections on the French Revolution. The author frames his defense against private offenses as a public, literary performance, blending humor with admonition to scrutinize moral pretensions in church and society.
