A lurid portrait of a Bristol circle led by Squire Brute and Jemmy Salvatory, detailing riotous living, duplicity, and an ill fated Scotland elopement. Onesiphorus Castratus and others are described in vivid satirical terms, with Brute’s failing finances and a cruel marriage deteriorating a wife’s health.
The text portrays Squire Brute as a monstrous figure in human shape, an estate heir of five hundred pounds a year who ruins young wives for his own pleasure. It compares him to Lothario and condemns his hypocrisy and debauchery while noting his lack of principle and gullibility before designing women.
