'Fielding was back in London in the beginning of 1736, when he took the little theatre in the Haymarket. He opened it with his 'Pasquin'; a Dramatick Satire on the Times', in which, in a series of scenes on the plan of the 'Rehearsal', he attacks the political corruption of Walpole's time' [DNB]

On recto of first preliminary leaf, following title-page, a printer's advertisement; on recto, a list of 'Dramatis Personae' precedes the main text; at end, on verso of F1, a bookseller's advertisement listing books: 'Sold by J. Osborne at the Golden Ballin Pater-Noster-Row'; F2 wanting (? blank).

On verso of F1 a bookseller's advertisement listing books: 'Sold by J. Osborne at the Golden Ball in Pater-Noster-Row'.
