- Genuine Remains in Verse and Prose of Mr.Samuel Butler (1759), two volumes, was  edited by Robert Thyer from Butler’s paper, this colection included more than a hundred prose “Characters”, which show Butler as a master of vigorous, incisive, racy prose and an artist in the Theophrastina “Characters” not inferior to John Earle or the contributors to Sir Thoms Overbury’s famous collection. The study of
“A Dake of Bucks” is a satiric analysis of the collection acter of the 2nd duke of Buckingham which does not suffer much even bye comparason with Dryden’s famous “Zimri” in Absalom and Achitophel
