1771 Edition
Miss M-tch-l
-, -
This unfortunate young lady appears to us an object of pity. Not a twelvemonth ago she kept a boarding school, at Putney, with great repute; she was carressed for her conduct, and looked upon by her neighbours as a prodigy of virtue; but fell a sacrifice to an attorney in Clifford's Inn, who has since abandon'd her. This lady's fall may serve as a better lesson to any of her scholars, than any the taught them; for at this time she is obliged to submit to the lowest prostitution for a livelyhood. Humanity forbids a description! is to be met with at the Star and Garter, at Putney.

Miss V-c-nt
Castle Street, Oxford Market
The frailty of womankind is a Proverb with the male Sex, and they are oblig�d to submit to the lordly race, who stigmatize them in this manner, but alas! is it not a shame to treat them in this scandalous manner, let but candour and common honesty take an Impartial view of the affair. The Infant fair is excluded the company of mankind, who are represented as monsters, who would devour their honour, chance perhaps bring them acquainted with some young fellow, immediately he prizes her charms, exalts her person to the skies, and tho� he knows what he says is to the height of Hyperbole, yet her glass bids her believe it is all due to her beauty she thinks him no monster, but in her own breast calls him a charming man, he percieves her prejudice in his favour, lays every scheme he can to seduce her from her innocence, and then in a triumphant manner rails at the frailty of woman. Few of the fair Sex can boast of charms, equal and non-superior to this lady. She is the daughter of a gentleman who had a genteel place in the exchequer, her education was very delicate and uniform to the mode of the times, she was left to the care of a lady who was an acquaintance of her Fathers in whom he put the greatest confidence, but this good lady for some pecuniary advantages introduc�d a Nobleman to her acquaintance who took the advantage of her innocence, and in a short time conquer'd her virtue, he has supported her ever since in a splendid manner, and behaves with the utmost tenderness to her, but how long it may last no one can tell, should his passion cool, or some new object strike his view, who knows, but like others, he may leave her to destruction, and cry with the rest of the world, that Woman is Frail: However we heartily wish to the contrary for the honour of her noble Keeper, and her own happiness. She is a plump girl, has fine chesnut hair, and the finest gray eyes that ever sparkled in the Side-Boxes.

Miss S-r
James Street, Haymarket
This lady is the daughter of a very industrious pair, not many miles from Vauxhall-Gardens, to which place we are in a great measure indebted for her appearance in our List.�By imbibing too early a fondness for that seat of pleasure, it in a short time proved the bane to her happiness, for meeting with a Gentleman there of no small consequence in the world of gallantry, she became enamour�d of his person, and in a short time fell a snare to his charms.� With this gentleman she lived some time in perfect amity, till an unlucky accident deprived her of him and his peace of mind together.-Happening unfortunately to meet with a favourite Son of Mars, at another public place of entertainment, she had not power to withstand his glances, which he perceiving, left no hook unbaited to entangle her. Gold, and every other enticement were thrown in her way, but in vain, however, he frequently found means to see and converse with her, when at length the impulse of nature grew stronger than any other temptation, and she fell an easy prey to a red coat, a sword, and a fine person., He soon grew satiated, and of course, in a short time had lest her to think on what had happened, and to make what reparation she could to her injured friend. for such he had proved to her; but the knowledge of her guilt had reached his �ears, and his doors were shut against her: In this Dilemma, what could she do? whither could she fly? her Seducer would not see her, her parents she dare not go near, and the town was the only resource she had to trust to, that received her and triumphed in its prize. This lady is rather short of stature, not handsome, but extremely delicate, both in person and behaviour: she is moderate. in her charge, and very particular in the choice. of her companions, so that whoever has the happiness of her company, will neither find his time or money in any degree squandered away.
Miss Ob-y
Johnsons Court, Charing Cross
It is not a fine set of features that always charm the most, there is a certain something, not to be describ�d which does not strike at first sight, but with little acquaintance, holds you longer than the fairest face that ever was seen, this is plainly prov�d in the person of Miss Ob-y, whose person is rather of the tallest, and not a little pitted with the small pox, yet with these disadvantages, with an excellent temper, she renders herself most enchantingly agreeable, and when Phoebus, lies reclin�d in the arms of Thetis, and the dark curtains of night have kindly vail�d her face, then those charms which modesty and custom, has kindly conceal�d from view, make ample amends for what ever might appear in her face by day-light, the then heaving of Cupid�s kettle drums, accompanied with the interjection, Oh! the murmuring long sigh, and the extatick flow from the fountain of love; gives the most exquisite pleasure that ever was imagin�d to proceed from that shrine, which every true votary of Venus pays adoration to.
Miss Mi-l
Albermarle Street
As pretty a little tit-bit as ever was touch�d, the softest down that ever doves of Venus shed on the mountains of love, is scarcely a match for her skin, were we to make use of the Hyperbole of the poets, her eyes would be diamonds, her cheeks, roses and lillies, her teeth ivory, her breath sweeter than Arabian gales, and in fact, superior to the goddess they are votaries to, but this is mere transient, and passeth away like clouds before the wind, for the moment the service of love is o'er, they find her a mere mortal with all her charms, and the fested smile which issue forth to the olfactory nerves, plainly declare her a mortal only : her tresses are fair, eyes black, and her complexion entirely juvenile.
Miss H-y-s

But the Lord's passion growing cool, or another having took his fancy, he left her to act for herself as well as she could, or as she thought proper, however she was determin'd not to part with him intirely, and therefore has thought proper to make free with his name, by which she now goes, she's rather short, but has a very handsome face, fine brown hair and grey eyes, she lives extremely genteel, and is visited by those of rank and fortune, who support her dignity.
