Two of the poems, "Allen and Ella" and "The Lover and the Friend" were reprinted in George Pearch's 1770 edition of A Collection of Poems. Mills's prose account at the end of his visit to the Paraclete to view the uncovered remains [supposedly] of Abelard and Eloisa, a popular romantic story in the 18th Century, with Gothic undertones would be of decided interest to scholars of the Gothic: the frontispiece illustrates the author kneeling to examine the skeletons, with appropriate reverence, whilst torchbearing monks and nuns look on. The plan also details the exact position of the skeletal remains, which were subsequently removed when the Paraclete was destroyed in the French Revolution. During Mills's tour of Europe, he met another young man called Peter Vallete, to whom the book is dedicated; and it also includes a poem at the end dedicated to Valette.
