A Muse in Livery: Or The Footman's Miscellany is a book written by Robert Dodsley and published in 1732. The book is a collection of poems, essays, and letters written by footmen, who were servants in the households of wealthy families during the 18th century. The footmen wrote about their experiences working in these households, as well as their thoughts on various topics such as love, politics, and religion. The book also includes satirical pieces that poke fun at the upper classes and their lifestyles.
