The original copy, with a title page printed between 1790 and 1800 was intended to accompany various products of the Strawberry Hill press, and each copy was unique.

Additionally Bull had his own title page printed: "A collection of the separate poems, and other detached pieces; printed at the press of the Honorable Horace Walpole at Strawberry Hill. Newport, Isle of Wight, Printed for J. Albin. MDCCXCI" (90524:2). This copy is made up of 55 "Detached pieces" from the Strawberry Hill press. Bull's additions include: numerous prints and portraits depicting Strawberry Hill and places associated with Horace Walpole or individuals in his circle, clippings of poems, and manuscript items.
