| The nonpareil [Doctor Daniel Dove and his Horse Nobs] / MIDNIGHT Mary, M.DCC.LVII. [1757] | |||||||
The nonpareil; or, The quintessence of wit and humour : being a choice selection of
those pieces that were most admired in the ever-to-be-remember’d Midwife; or, Old
woman’s magazine. Pieces which (as a celebrated author observes) will stand the test
of all ages, and live and be read till time is no more : to which is added An index
to mankind; or, Maxims selected from the wits of all nations. For the benefit of the
present age and of posterity interspersed with some axioms in life, and seasonable
reflections by the same author. With a preface by her good friend the late Mr. Pope.

« Doctor Daniel Dove and his Horse Nobs est le titre d’un court fabliau probablement édité dans le journal The Midwife par Smart [et John Newbery?] sous le pseudonyme de Mary Midnight. Le titre de ce fabliau sera repris bien plus tard par Robert Southley (in The Doctor , Londres, Logmans, 1834) qui en continuera l’histoire en tentant de conserver le non-sens initial de l’histoire en l’étirant au maximum sans en révéler le véritable cœur (Comment tirer des revenus d’un cheval donnant de la véritable laine de mouton après être mort d’ivresse). » Bibliothèque Mondiale du Cheval
