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. (Title page: 90524:1) Letter-press items collected under this title, including the printed title page itself, have been identified by A.T. Hazen in "A bibliography of the Strawberry Hill Press.

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. The majority of items are single sheets and have been mounted or inlaid on leaves (30 x 25 cm). Some items are interleaved. Items are also pasted in on the fly-leaves and on inside rear cover.
