The ballad follows the adventures of George Barnwell, who engages in an affair with the prostitute Sarah Millwood. After stealing money from his employer to fund his relationship, Barnwell robs and murders his uncle. Both Barnwell and Millwood are arrested and executed for their crimes.

An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope: 2 Volumes Complete

London, R & J Dodsley. 1782. Hardcover. Book, 1782, Good Condition, Rebound Hardcover Red Spine labels with Gilt Title, 8vo, 2 Vols, xiii 415, 423pp Warton's relatively low estimation of Pope was novel (or at least the grounds of his opinion), though within two generations it would become the norm among persons with pretensions to taste, as in Robert Southey's remark that "The age from Dryden to Pope is the worst age of English poetry" His Essay on Pope, though written with such studied moderation that we may, in a hasty reading, regard it almost as a eulogy, was so shocking to the prejudices of the hour that it was received with universal disfavour, and twenty-six years passed before the author had the moral courage to pursue it to a conclusion.
