- An attack on William Pulteney for his part in the work: An answer to one part of a late infamous libel, intitled Remarks on the Craftsman's vindication of his two honourable patrons ... in which the character and conduct of Mr. P. is fully vindicated ... (London : R. Francklin, 1731), "An answer ..." has also been attributed to Nicholas Amhurst, but ESTC ascribes it to Pulteney.
- Hervey's "Remarks ..." is an attack on Bolingbroke and Pulteney, written in reply to the last letter of Bolingbroke's "Remarks on the history of England", a defense of Pulteney and himself, which appeared in the Craftsman.
- The "two honourable patrons" are Pulteney and Bolingbroke.
