Note 16 — Chapter II · ENGLISH SATIRE FROM DRYDEN TO BYRON

The most important is Churchill’s Rosciad (1761), with the numerous replies which it elicited: the Churchilliad (1761), the Smithfield Rosciad (1761), the Anti-Rosciad (1761), by Thomas Morell (1703–1784), and The Rosciad of Covent Garden (1761) by H. J. Pye (1745–1813). Among other satires of the same class may be mentioned the Smartiad (1752) by Dr. John Hill (1710–1775), with its answer, the severe and effective Hilliad (1752) by Christopher Smart (1722–1771); the Meretriciad (1764) by Arthur Murphy (1727–1806); the Consuliad (1770), a fragment by Chatterton; the Diaboliad (1777), with its sequel, the Diabolady (1777) by William Combe (1741–1823); and finally the Criticisms on the Rolliad, Gifford’s Baviad and Mæviad, the Simpliciad, and the Alexandriad (1805).
