An unusual volume with two works, the first being what Edgar Allan Poe called "the only American satire ever written." It is often collected also as a William Wordsworth item as the author absolutely blisters WW throughout. One reviewer calls it a "violent" attack on him. Wordsworth is not alone though; the author freely inflicts his verbal darts on Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, and others. 

The second work is by John Quincy Adams and explains the Adams inclusions in the volume, which are a fine engraving of John Quincy Adams, a clipped autograph of John Quincy Adams, and several early pieces by Adams laid to the rear blank sheets.
