Manuscript, in a single hand, in the style of The Spectator for year 1768. The volume's contents are primarily tongue-in-cheek, including a dedication to Nobody; a narrative autobiography of a flea; advice to readers; and a discussion on the art of punning. The volume also records, with primarily satirical intent, the letters sent to the editor, including one by a woman who believes herself the subject of an entry in the Spectator.

Numerous entries are dated from Kings College, Cambridge
