| dc.description.abstract | "The conclusion of this excellent address ... is now in the press, and will be published in a few days. The author is industriously conceal'd, tho' the Daily Gazetteer, in a mad fit of anger, ascribes it to Mr. Fielding" - P. 56 (thus, sometimes attributed to Fielding. ESTC attributes the work only to "An eminent hand") The "Conclusion of the address ..." was also published by Drummond in 1740 |
