Chickens feed capons or a dissertation on the pertness of our youth in general, especially those trained up at tea-tables; with The true Picture of a Petit Maitre, and a Modern fine Lady; Some Hints on Abuses in Education; not forgetting the Insolence and Scorn with which the generality of young Persons treat their Elders and Betters. Also a very remarkable tragical case, which may serve as a Warning to Persons in Years, how they give the Staff out of their own Hands, and leave themselves to the Mercy of others. Written by a friend of the person injured. With a preface in Vindication of the Author.
