- With woodcut of a wagon pulled by British slaves.
- With note below title: "To attack by ridicule those who are reckless of censure, to enliven by wit those who are depressed by sorrow, to dispel the fear of contagion by the force of humour, and expose the machinations of rascality by the medium of satire. To gibbet the enemies of the People, whether they wear the garb of Whig or Tory, to uncloak the humbugs of the day, whether of the State, the Stock, St. Stephens, or the Stage; in short, to form a weekly compendium of wit and wisdom, pun and pleasantry, politics and prophecy, satire and sentiment."
