Notes:

"From the electrical throne! in the great Apollo-chamber, at the Temple of Hymen, in London, before a glowing and brilliant audience of near three hundred ladies and gentlemen, who were commanded by Venus, Cupid, and Hymen! to asist, in joyous assembly, at the grant east of very fat things, which was held at their temple, on Monday evening, the 25th of November, 1782; but which was interrupted by the rude and unexpected arrival of his worship, Midas Neutersex, esq.; and his bum-posse, jsut as the dessert was about to be served up."

"Published at the earnest desire of many of the company, and to gratify the impatient and very intense longings of thousands of adepts, Hibernian and British; of the Cognoscenti; et de les Amateurs ardens des delices exquise de Venus!"

"To which is subjoined, a description of the stupendous nature and effects of the celebrated celestial bed!"
