Davis, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Jean T. Shebanek, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library INTRODUCTION The two pieces here reproduced have long been unavailable; their connections with Arbuthnot are rather complex. _The Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_ has been ambiguously associated with Arbuthnot since the year of its first publication, but it does not seem to have been reprinted since the nineteenth century when editors regularly included it among the minor works of Swift. Whoever wrote it, the _Story_ is a lively and effective Tory squib, whose narrative vigor can carry even the twentieth-century reader over the occasional topical obscurities. _A Catalogue of the ... Library of ... Dr. Arbuthnot_ has never been reprinted at all, and appears to be unknown by scholars who have thus far written about Arbuthnot. _The Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_, the first piece included, has always been of doubtful authorship, and must for the present so continue. Two days after the _Story_ first appeared, Swift tantalizingly wrote to Stella: "I went to Ld Mashams to night, & Lady Masham made me read to her a pretty 2 penny Pamphlet calld the St Albans Ghost. I thought I had writt it my self; so did they, but I did not" (22 February 1712). Whoever wrote it, the _Story_ succeeded: it was pirated within a week, and had reached its third regular "edition" within three weeks of the first; it appeared in a fifth and apparently final edition on 19 July 1712.[1] Now just during these same months Arbuthnot was producing his first political satires, five pamphlets later gathered under the title _History of John Bull_. He published the first of these 4 March 1712 and the last 31 July 1712.[2] There are several thematic and methodological connections between _The Story of The St. Alb-ns Ghost_ and the John Bull pamphlets: as Tory propaganda pieces, they attack leading Whigs and make the usual suggestions about irreligion, moral turpitude and misuse of public funds. Furthermore, they do so by means of vigorous if sometimes difficult reductive allegories which mock the victims by presenting them as farcical figures from low life. The connection as well as the difficulties must have appeared quite early, for some enterprising publisher (presumably Curll)[3] soon brought out _A Complete Key to the Three Parts of Law is a Bottomless-Pit, and the Story of the St. Alban's Ghost_. Although the exact date of this is not known, it must lie between the _termini_ 17 April and 9 May 1712, the dates of the third and fourth parts respectively of John Bull. Furthermore, a "Second Edition Corrected" of the Key appeared before the publication of pamphlet four. (The last pages of these two Keys, concerning the _Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_, are reproduced in the Appendix.) The Key ran through two further editions as _A Complete Key to the Four Parts of Law is a Bottomless-Pit, and the Story of the St. Alban's Ghost_, presumably before 31 July 1712, and came to a fifth (seemingly last) edition with a more general title referring to "all Parts" of John Bull, and still including the _Story_. While the Keys by association suggest Arbuthnot as author, the only other contemporary document attributes the _Story_ to a different physician and wit: the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. William Wagstaffe_ (London, 1726) reprint the fourth edition of the Story. Now the _Miscellaneous Works_ were printed some five months after the death of Dr. Wagstaffe and more than three months after that of the supposed editor Dr. Levett;[4] it is possible that the contents are in part erroneous. In any case, Arbuthnot, Wagstaffe and Swift remain the possible authors with whom scholars must deal until some further evidence is forthcoming. Roscoe interprets Swift's ambiguous remarks in the _Journal to Stella_ as an indirect acknowledgement, and Dilke goes one step further in assuming that the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. Wagstaffe_ are a mystification, a means for Swift to pass off works which he did not wish to include in the _Miscellanies_ with Pope. Sir Walter Scott thinks that the _Story_ is probably a collaboration between Arbuthnot and Swift, "judging from the style"; Professor Herbert Davis dissociates Wagstaffe material generally from the writings of Swift, but does not specifically mention the _Story_; however, "Mr. Granger thought St. Alban's Ghost, attributed to Dr. Wagstaffe, was [Arbuthnot's]."[5] Although recent scholars seem to agree in selecting Wagstaffe as author of the _Story_, the evidence of the 1726 _Works_ is implicitly contradicted by the Keys. I have made two separate attempts to solve the question of authorship, neither of which has been fully satisfactory. The first of these, a computerized test based on the methods of Professor Louis T. Milic for distinguishing works by Swift from works by other authors, has given inconclusive results. In this test the _Story_ was the chief unknown, and was compared with samples of similar length from Swift, Arbuthnot, Wagstaffe and, as a control, Mrs. Manley, who wrote politically keyed narratives but has never been associated with the _Story_. The _Story_ turned out to be fairly similar to all four authors in the number of different three-word patterns (D), and unlike all of them in number of Introductory Connectives (IC), where Wagstaffe stood the highest, and the _Story_ by far the lowest. In the proportion of Verbals (VB) the _Story_ and Wagstaffe were fairly close together and different from the other authors tested, who clustered near the Swift figures. Thus the test tends to exclude Swift, Arbuthnot and Mrs. Manley as possible authors, but does not encourage a full confidence in replacing them with Wagstaffe. (It also tends to show that some of the other pieces included in the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. Wagstaffe_ differ considerably in the usages tested both from one another and from the patterns established by the signed works of Dr. Walstaffe.)[6] My second attempt was based on textual changes among editions of the _Story_. In the second edition there are three small changes from the first; the third and fourth editions seem to be line-for-line reprints of the second. (The "sham, Imperfect Sort" introduces a large number of variants, mainly errors.) In the fifth edition, however, somebody has altered the typography: many past forms of verbs are altered. Thus at the bottom of p. 3 _unbody'd_ becomes _unbodyed_, _carry'd_ and _deliver'd_ become _carryed_, _delivered_. The task of editing is not complete; particularly near the end of the fifth edition many verbs still carry the apostrophe of the earlier editions. The date of the attempt suggests that Swift's _Proposal for Correcting, Improving and Ascertaining the English Tongue_ (first published 17 May 1712, a week after the fourth edition of the _Story_) could have provided the motivation, and also that Swift himself could not have been the person who made the changes. A study of a few contemporaries shows that Swift himself tried to eliminate the apostrophes from the _Conduct of the Allies_, first published 27 November 1711, and from other works published after that date, but not from works published before that date. Oldisworth, apparently under the instructions of Swift, tried to do the same during the first few months of the _Examiner_, vol. 2 (beginning 6 December 1711), but by the time he reached volume 3, Oldisworth had apparently given up the struggle against unwilling printers. Arbuthnot, Roper and Manley are not very interested in the matter, and neither are other pamphleteers published by Morphew during the months immediately following Swift's _Proposal_. The items included in the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. Wagstaffe_, on the other hand, fall into three groups chronologically: those which precede Swift's _Proposal_, and include many apostrophied verb forms; those which immediately follow Swift's _Proposal_, and include abnormally few apostrophied verb forms; the two "late" pieces (1715, 1719), which are back to the proportion of apostrophied verbs to be found in the early items. If Pseudo-Wagstaffe was indeed a single writer, then he followed the same pattern as Oldisworth, but began later and continued longer to use verbs with an _-ed_ ending. Since the genuine signed prose works of Dr. Wagstaffe come "late" (1717, 1721) and have a fairly large (i.e., normal) number of apostrophied verbs, there is no evidence here as to whether or not Pseudo-Wagstaffe is Wagstaffe; at least there is no contradiction. In the light of these facts, we can see that neither Swift nor Arbuthnot is a probable author of the _Story_; Swift would presumably have altered verb typography in the first and all editions, and Arbuthnot would not have altered it at all.[7] In these two projects on authorship we find that authors other than Wagstaffe tend to be eliminated, but that Wagstaffe himself is not strongly confirmed. The authorship remains as problematic as before, and the _Story_ may as well for this century continue with the Arbuthnotiana, as it did during the nineteenth with the Swiftiana. The device of using a ghost story as vehicle for political satire was by 1712 a well-established one. Elias F. Mengel Jr. refers to "the 'ghost' convention, so popular in the Restoration,"[8] and an important poem of Queen Anne's reign shows some similarities with and perhaps provided a model for the _Story_. In _Moderation Display'd_ (London, 1705) the recently deceased second Earl of Sunderland rises from Hell to confound his guilty Whig companions. Tonson (Bibliopolo) is the most terrified, and as in the _Story_ Wharton (Clodio) is so wicked that he is not frightened at all. The _Story_, however, is both more subtle and more flexible than most other satiric "ghost" narratives. It compresses the actual apparition into the last quarter of the narrative, despite the perhaps deliberately misleading title. Nearly half of the _Story_ deals with previous events; much of the rest is machinery, introduction of seemingly irrelevant details with a mischievous verisimilitude which actually advances the main satiric aims. The opening paragraph, for example, first denounces Roman Catholic superstition, a denunciation which almost every Englishman could join, and then turns the fire toward "Our Sectarists." The war on heterodoxy continues in the references to Dr. Garth, the Whig poet and physician noted for his scepticism in religion, to William Whiston who during the winter of 1711-1712 was transcribing documents and writing elaborate treatises to uphold his view that Christian churches and theologians had all been essentially heretical since the time of Athanasius, and to the Reverend and Honourable Lumley Lloyd, a low-church minister whose sermons attracted at least two Tory satires.[9] None of these men belongs in the narrative, and only Garth was even remotely connected with the Marlboroughs, but all of them were Whigs, and in various ways serve to "demonstrate" that Whigs must be false brethren to the Church of England. This charge, although a cliché of Tory satires, is here made indirect and witty, as are the staple charges against the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Whereas, however, the wickedness of nonconformity had been attacked for decades, the Duke of Marlborough had been associated with the Whigs for a relatively short time. As late as 1706 Wagstaffe could generously declare that "_Woodstock's_ too little" a reward (_Ramelies, a Poem_), but since Swift's "Bill of British Ingratitude" in the _Examiner_ (17 November 1710) the Tory press had begun to say that the rewards were too many and too great. The _Story_ repeats the charge that Avaro and Haggite "grew Richer than their Mistress" (p. 11), together with the ridiculous insinuations of cowardice and incompetence found constantly reiterated in the second volume of _Examiners_. The Duchess of Marlborough attracted massive satire earlier than her husband, in such books as _The Secret History of Queen Zarah_ (London, 1705),[10] and her habit of saying "Lawrd" with an affected drawl is mentioned in _The Secret History of Arlus and Odolphus_ (n.p., 1710), pp. 21, 22, 23. Although not so frequent as attacks on the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, attacks on Mrs. Jennings the mother of the Duchess had already been made, and indeed the _Story_ relies for part of its effect on the fact that Mrs. Jennings is already associated with witchcraft. In _Memoirs of Europe_ (London, 1710)[10] for example, she inherits a familiar spirit from Sir Kenelm Digby, there reported the real father of the Duchess (II, 44-46). In _Oliver's Pocket Looking-Glass_ (n.p., 1711) Mrs. Jennings appears as "the famous Mother Shipton, who by the Power and Influence of her Magick Art, had plac'd a Daughter in the same Station at Court [i.e., Maid of Honour] with _Meretricia_ [Arabella Churchill] ..." (p. 21). Because the author of the Story assumes that previous Tory allegations are well-known, he is free to perform elegant variations or to allude indirectly. Assuming the fact of witchcraft allows him to heap up an ambiguous burlesque of popular superstition which is in part entertainment and in part rebuttal of recent Whig sneers at Tory credulity during the Jane Wenham witch trial.[11] Here as throughout the pamphlet, the author demonstrates the virtuosity which even Swift commends. Since Swift praises few pamphlets except those written by himself and Arbuthnot (or occasionally Mrs. Manley), the _Story_ enters a fairly select company. It is the only Pseudo-Wagstaffe piece mentioned by name in the _Journal to Stella_, the only one found worthy to stand beside the productions of Swift and Arbuthnot.[12] The second document reproduced claims to be _A Catalogue of the Capital and Well-Known Library of Books, of the Late Celebrated Dr. Arbuthnot_. To the extent that the claim is true, the _Catalogue_ will be important for studies of the Scriblerian Club generally, since Arbuthnot is the member with the greatest reputation for learning. Although the contents of a man's library do not correspond exactly with the contents of his mind, scholars can discover a good deal about the intellectual methods of Dr. Arbuthnot by examining the books which he owned. Until now this has not been possible; the _Catalogue_ is a recent acquisition of the British Museum, not so much as mentioned in books thus far published about Arbuthnot. For several reasons, however, the document must be used with caution. First of all, the compilers list a total of 2525 volumes, but they itemize only 1639,[13] and even then often give inadequate information. Furthermore, a xerox copy of the Sale Book records of the auction, very kindly sent to me by the present Messrs. Christie, Manson and Woods, shows that almost a quarter of the lots (items 53-65, 243-245, 276-372, 426), or 999 volumes, belonged not to the Arbuthnot estate but to other owners. Finally, Dr. Arbuthnot died in 1735, whereas the auction was not held until December 1779, about three and a half months after the death of his bachelor son George. Of the books belonging to the Arbuthnot estate, almost 20% were printed after 1735, and belonged not to the father but to the son, or perhaps in some cases to the daughter Anne, who lived with her brother.[14] The legal books are likely all to have been George Arbuthnot's, and presumably some of the other books printed before 1735 also. Despite these obscurities, the Catalogue throws a good deal of new light upon the most learned Scriblerian--and upon his family. Dr. Arbuthnot seems to have bought relatively few antiquarian books; about 20% of the itemized volumes belonging to his estate come before 1691, the year when he first went to London. In selecting these older works Arbuthnot has shown a catholic taste and linguistic ability: he bought grammars and dictionaries, besides works on medicine and science, literature, history and religion, written in English, French, Italian, Latin and Greek, plus a solitary Hebrew Bible (item 234); his copy of Udall's _Key to the Holy Tongue_ is dated 1693 (item 183). Less than a quarter of these earlier books are in English. The sole "cradle" date of the catalogue, 1495 for _Rosa Anglica_ (item 417), may be a misprint: editions of 1492 and 1595, among others, have been previously recorded, but none for 1495.[15] When compared with the antiquarian books, the list of titles from the Arbuthnot estate either dated or first published after the death of Dr. Arbuthnot reveals a number of differences. English is the predominant language of the late group, with French a poor second. There is another Hebrew Bible (253), a Spanish Cervantes (25), an Italian Machiavelli (96), but no Greek book at all, and astonishingly only two Latin: a dictionary (89) and a Horace (147); Cicero appears in a French translation (26). In part, of course, the shift in languages accompanies the general decline of humanistic learning in the eighteenth century, but it also strengthens our knowledge of Dr. Arbuthnot's erudition. Although apparently not interested in science, George Arbuthnot read widely, however, in other areas (see for example 10, 15, 49, 158, 160, 168, 170, 254, 271). Similarly, the books from outside the Arbuthnot estate are less learned than those of Arbuthnot. They do include two Greek testaments (290, 310) and some recent scientific works (e.g. 314, *349), but lack the great Greek writers whom Arbuthnot collected, such as Plato (125), Aristotle (126), Herodotus (385) or Aristophanes (387). Whereas Arbuthnot read Newton's treatises (81, 85, 197, 217), one of the other owners read Algarotti's simplification (*312). The subjects of the books in the Arbuthnot estate can be variously divided. By sheer number of titles, literature is the most important subject, closely followed by science (including medicine as the biggest sub-group), and then by history. In number of volumes, however, the historical section is considerably larger than the literary, and science comes third. Books on geography and travel, philosophical treatises, grammars and dictionaries, even a work on astrology (109), attest to the breadth of Arbuthnot's interests. A few works in the fine arts are listed, somewhat surprisingly only two of them on music (32, 373). The military item (391) may come from the Doctor's brother George, who was in the army, or it may represent another aspect of the general interest in all human affairs. There is a fairly large number of religious works, including books by Eusebius and Sozomen (127), Spotswood (380), Huet (383), Charles Leslie (251), Leibniz (141), Tillotson (395) and Jeremy Taylor (3,394). The elaborately bound Greek Septuagint (272) and Greek New Testament (273) must be the ones which Arbuthnot specified in his will (the only books there mentioned), calling them "the Gift of my late Royal Mistress Queen Anne."[16] As the _Catalogue_ does not describe any other fine bindings, the other books seem to have been bought for use rather than for show. A study of the duplications among the books in the Arbuthnot estate reinforces the opinion that the books were bought for use. The only items appearing three times are the works of Pope (76, 180) and Pope's _Iliad_ (11, 77, 242). Since two of the former were published after the death of Arbuthnot, and must have belonged to the Arbuthnot children, perhaps the extra _Iliads_ were equally the property of Arbuthnot's heirs. The duplicates of Molière (21, 135), Prideaux (50, 379), and Veneroni (90, *229) could also have belonged to the children. However, the bulk of the duplications seem to involve obtaining a later edition or a necessary text, and thus to have a scholarly rationale. For example, the two editions of Eustachius are dated 1714, 1728 (115, 259), those of Livy are dated 1578, 1708 (7, 386), while both sets of Sennertus seem to be broken (406, 407). Not surprisingly, Arbuthnot owned a number of satirical works. In addition to Pope and Molière, already mentioned, he owned Petronius (9), Juvenal and Persius (230), Terence (231), Plautus (232), Boileau (98), Gay (79) and Swift's _Tale of a Tub_ (178). He presumably bought or was given other works by Swift, but no others are itemized; perhaps some were in the "Large parcel of pamphlets" (1). George Arbuthnot added a copy of _The Four Last Years of Queen Anne_ (173), not published until 1758. Although literature bulks large among Arbuthnot's books, English poetry is not very conspicuous. According to some of the dates, Arbuthnot may have developed his interest in English poetry rather late in life. Although he owned a 1611 Spenser (423), he did not buy the listed Chaucer (110) until 1721. Pope may have inspired the urge to acquire Milton (80, 185), but there seems to be no literary reason for wanting a Milton in French (184). Some other member of the family was, however, sufficiently interested in Milton to buy Newton's edition in 1749 (78). The minor poets listed are also late in date (72, 187). The only Dryden is the translation of Virgil (16), which could represent an interest in classical just as much as in English poetry. There are, however, two copies of Prior's _Poems_ in the large paper edition (106, 252). As the compilers of the _Catalogue_ have left many volumes unspecified, there must have been other poetic works, but the listed sample is rather small. Characteristically uninterested in his personal fame, Arbuthnot kept no copies of his own writings except the reissued _Tables of Ancient Coins_ (84, 193), associated with a favorite son. The reader revealed by this library is the same Arbuthnot whom his contemporaries admired: witty, yet thoughtful and religious; deeply learned, yet modest. His children, although less learned than the father, continued to buy books on current topics, particularly literature, history and travel. Aged over seventy, George Arbuthnot was still ingesting such materials as Laughton's _History of Ancient Egypt_ (168) and Raynal's comprehensive history of colonialism (10). Despite the obscurity of the word "more" under which the compilers listed half of the total volumes, even the sample of the library is a welcome addition to our knowledge about Dr. Arbuthnot. University of Victoria NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION [1] See advertisements in the _Evening Post_, 19, 21, 26 February, 13 March 1712; and in the _Post-Boy_, 10 May and 19 July 1712. The research necessary for the present publication was supported by a grant from the University of Victoria and by a Leave Fellowship from the Canada Council. [2] The dates given by Professor H. Teerink in _The History of John Bull for the first time faithfully re-issued from the original pamphlets_ (Amsterdam, 1925), pp. 6-7, are drawn from dates in the Examiner, a weekly newspaper. Three of these dates are correct, and the other two are close, but can be corrected by consulting papers published more often. The first pamphlet seems to have appeared on 4 March 1712 (see _Post-Boy_ of that date), and the third may have appeared on 16 April 1712 (see the _Daily Courant_ of 16 and 17 April; the _Post-Boy_, however, agrees with the _Examiner_ on the date 17 April). [3] Although no publisher is named on the title page of the Keys, the fifth edition is advertised among "New Pamphlets Printed for E. Curll" on the back of the half-title page to _The Tunbridge-Miscellany: Consisting of Poems, &c. Written at Tunbridge-Wells this Summer. By Several Hands_ (London, 1712). [4] Wagstaffe died 5 May 1726, Levett 2 July 1726; the _Miscellaneous Works_ were published on about 18 October 1726. Dr. Norman Moore in his account of Wagstaffe has shown that the "life" in the _Miscellaneous Works_ is substantially correct, and has suggested that Dr. Levett wrote it; see Moore, _History of St. Bartholomew's Hospital_ (London, 1918), II, 523-529.

Neither squib is of much literary value, but the second acquires some interest by being associated with the _Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_ and a third edition of _A Learned Comment on Tom Thumb_ (an earlier Pseudo-Wagstaffe piece) in the advertising column of _Examiner_, vol.

White Kennet lists a number of pamphlets on both sides in _The Wisdom of Looking Backwards_ (London, 1715), pp. 203-205, but does not mention the _Story_. The _Protestant Post-Boy_ has a series of articles, stemming from the trial, on the improbability of witchcraft (3, 5, 8, 12 April 1712), but predictably ignores the _Story_. [12] Dr. Moore, however, seems to include the _Story_ in his condemnation of all the Pseudo-Wagstaffe pieces except the _Comment upon ... Tom Thumb_ (now reproduced in Augustan Reprint no. 63) as "abusive, coarse, or dull" (_History of St. Bartholomew's Hospital_, II, 526).

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The texts of these facsimiles of _The Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_ (T.1860 Tract 8) and _A Catalogue of the Capital and Well-Known Library of Books, of the Late Celebrated Dr. Arbuthnot_ (C.131.dd.9) are reproduced from copies in the British Museum. The two Keys to _The Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_ are reproduced from the first and second editions of _A Complete Key to the Three Parts of Law is a Bottomless-Pit and the Story of the St. Alban's Ghost_ (both editions 1712; E.1984 Tracts 6 and 7; both versos), also in the British Museum.

ALB-NS GHOST. I can scarcely say whether we ought to attribute the Multitude of Ghosts and Apparitions, which were so common in the Days of our Forefathers, to the Ignorance of the People, or the Impositions of the Priest. The Romish Clergy found it undoubtedly for their Interest to deceive them, and the Superstition of the People laid themselves open to receive whatsoever They thought proper to inculcate. Hence it is, that their Traditions are little else, than the Miracles and Atchievements of unbody'd Heroes, a Sort of spiritual Romance, so artfully carry'd on, and delivered in so probable a Manner, as may easily pass for Truth on those of an uncultivated Capacity, or a credulous Disposition. Our Sectarists indeed still retain the Credulity, as well as some of the Tenets of that Church; and Apparitions, and such like, are still the Bug-bears made use of by some of the most Celebrated of their Holders-forth to terrify the old Women of their Congregation, (who are their surest Customers) and enlarge their Quarterly Subscriptions. I know one of these Ambidexters, who never fails of Ten or Twenty Pounds more than Ordinary, by nicking _something Wonderful_ in due Time; he often cloaths his whole Family _by the Apparition of a Person lately executed at_ Tyburn; or, _a Whale seen at_ Greenwich, _or thereabouts_; and I am credibly inform'd, that his Wife has made a Visit with a Brand new Sable Tippet on, since the Death of the _Tower Lions_. But as these Things will pass upon none but the Ignorant or Superstitious, so there are others that will believe nothing of this Nature, even upon the clearest Evidence. There are, it must be own'd, but very few of these Accounts to be depended on; some however are so palpable, and testify'd by so good Authority, by those of such undoubted Credit, and so discerning a Curiosity, that there is no Room to doubt of their Veracity, and which none but a Sceptic can disbelieve. Such is the following Story of Mother _Haggy_ of St. _Alb----ns_, in the Reign of King _James_ the First, the mighty Pranks she plaid in her Life-time, and her Apparition afterwards, made such a Noise, both at Home and Abroad, and were so terrible to the Neighbourhood, that the Country People, to this Day, cannot hear the Mention of her Name, without the most dismal Apprehensions. The Injuries they receiv'd from the Sorceries and Incantations of the Mother, and the Injustice and Oppression of the Son and Daughter, have made so deep an Impression upon their Minds, and begot such an Hereditary Aversion to their Memory, that they never speak of them, without the bitterest Curses and Imprecations. I have made it my Business, being at St. _Alb----ns_ lately, to enquire more particularly into this Matter, and the Helps I have receiv'd from the _most noted Men of Erudition in this City, have been Considerable_, and to whom I make my publick Acknowledgment. The Charges I have been at in _getting Manuscripts_, and Labour in _collating them_, the Reconciling the Disputes about the most _material Circumstances_, and adjusting the _various Readings_, as they have took me up a considerable Time, so I hope they may be done to the Satisfaction of my Reader. I wish I could have had Time to have distinguish'd by an Asterism the Circumstances deliver'd by Tradition only, from those of the Manuscripts, which I was advis'd to do by my worthy Friend the Reverend Mr. _Wh----n_, who, had he not been _Employ'd otherways_, might have been a very proper Person to have undertaken such a Performance. The best Manuscripts are now in the Hands of the Ingenious Dr. _G----th_, where they are left for the Curious to peruse, and where any _Clergyman_ may be welcome; for however he may have been abus'd by those who deny him to be the Author of the _D----y_, and tax'd by others with Principles and Practices unbecoming a Man of his Sense and Probity, yet I will be bold to say in his Defence, that I believe he is as good a Christian, as he is a Poet, and if he publishes any Thing on the late D----d _M----y_, I don't question but it will be interspers'd with as many Precepts of Reveal'd Religion, as the Subject is capable of bearing: And it is very probable, those _Refin'd Pieces_ that the Doctor has been pleas'd to own, since the Writing of the _D----y_, have been look'd upon, by the lewd debauch'd Criticks of the Town, to be dull and insipid, for no other Reason, but because they are grave and sober; but this I leave for others to determine, and can say for his Sincerity, that I am assur'd he believes the following Relation as much as any of us all. Mother _Haggy_ was marry'd to a plain home-spun Yeoman of St. _Alb----ns_, and liv'd in good Repute for some Years: The Place of her Birth is disputed by some of the most celebrated Moderns, tho' they have a Tradition in the Country, that she was never Born at all, and which is most probable. At the Birth of her Daughter _Haggite_, something happen'd very remarkable, and which gave Occasion to the Neighbourhood to mistrust she had a Correspondence with _Old Nick_, as was confirm'd afterwards, beyond the Possibility of Disproof. The Neighbours were got together a Merry-making, as they term it, in the Country, when the old Woman's High-crown'd Hat, that had been thrown upon the Bed's Tester during the Heat of the Engagement, leap'd with a wonderful Agility into the Cradle, and being catch'd at by the Nurse, was metamorphos'd into a Coronet, which according to her Description, was not much unlike that of a _German_ Prince; but it soon broke into a thousand Pieces. _Such_, cries old Mother _Haggy, will be the Fortune of my Daughter, and such her Fall_. The Company took but little Notice what she said, being surpris'd at the Circumstance of the Hat. _But this is Fact_, says the Reverend and Honourable L----y _L----d_, _and my Grandmother, who was a Person of Condition, told me_, says He, _she knew the Man, who knew the Woman, who was_, said she, _in the Room at that Instant_. The very same Night, I saw a Comet, neither have I any Occasion to tell a Lye as to this Particular, _says my Author_, brandishing its Tail in a very surprising Manner in the Air, but upon the Breaking of a Cloud, I could discern, _continues he_, a Clergyman at the Head of a Body of his own Cloth, and follow'd by an innumerable Train of Laity, who coming towards the Comet, it disappear'd. This was the first Time Mother _Haggy_ became suspected, and it was the Opinion of the Wisest of the Parish, that they should Petition the King to send her to be try'd for a Witch by the _Presbytery of Scotland_. How this past off I cannot tell, but certain it is, that some of the Great Ones of the Town were in with her, and 'tis said she was Serviceable to them in their Amours: She had a Wash that would make the Skin of a Blackamore as white as Alabaster, and another, that would restore the Loss of a Maidenhead, _without any Hindrance of Business, or the Knowledge of any one about them_. She try'd this Experiment so often upon her Daughter _Haggite_, that more than Twenty were satisfy'd they had her Virginity before Marriage. She soon got such a Reputation all about the Country, that there was not a Cow, a Smock, or a silver Spoon lost, but they came to her to enquire after it; All the young People flock'd to have their Fortunes told, which, they say she never miss'd. She told _Haggite_'s Husband, he should grow Rich, and be a Great Man, but by his Covetousness and Griping of the Poor, should come to an ill End. All which happen'd so exactly, _That there are several old Folks in our Town, who can remember it, as if it was but Yesterday_. She has been often seen to ride full gallop upon a Broom-Stick at Noon-Day, and swim over a River in a Kettle-Drum. Sometimes she wou'd appear in the Shape of a Lioness, and at other times of a Hen, or a Cat; but I have heard, could not turn herself into a Male Creature, or walk over two Straws across. There were never known so many great Winds as about that Time, or so much Mischief done by them: The Pigs gruntled, and the Screech-Owls hooted oftner than usual; a Horse was found dead one Morning with Hay in his Mouth; and a large overgrown Jack was caught in a Fish-Pond thereabouts with a silver Tobacco-Box in his Belly; several Women were brought to Bed of two Children, Some miscarry'd, and old Folks died very frequently. These Things could not chuse but breed a great Combustion in the Town, as they call it, and every Body certainly had rejoyc'd at her Death, had she not been succeeded by a Son and Daughter, who, tho' they were no Conjurers, were altogether as terrible to the Neighbourhood. She had two Daughters, one of which was marry'd to a Man who went beyond Sea; the other, her Daughter _Haggite_, to _Avaro_, whom we shall have Occasion to mention in the Sequel of this Story. There liv'd at that Time in the Neighbourhood two Brothers, of a great Family, Persons of a vast Estate and Character, and extreamly kind to their Servants and Dependants. _Haggite_ by her Mother's Interest, was got into this Family, and _Avaro_, who was afterwards her Husband, was the Huntsman's Boy. He was a Lad of a fine Complexion, good Features, and agreeable to the fair Sex, but wanted the Capacity of some of his fellow Servants: Tho' he got a Reputation afterwards for a Man of Courage, but upon no other Grounds, than by setting the Country Fellows to Cudgelling or Boxing, and being a Spectator of a broken Head and a bloody Nose. There are several authentic Accounts of the Behaviour of these Two, in their respective Stations, and by what Means they made an Advancement of their Fortunes. There are several Relations, I say, now extant, that tell us, how one of these great Brothers took _Avaro_'s Sister for his Mistress, which was the Foundation of his Preferment, and how _Haggite_, by granting her Favours to any one who would go to the Expence of them, became extreamly Wealthy, and how Both had gain'd the Art of getting Money out of every Body they had to do with, and by the most dishonourable Methods. Never perhaps, was any Couple so match'd in every Thing as these, or so fit for one another: A Couple so link'd by the Bonds of Iniquity, as well as Marriage, that it is impossible to tell which had the greatest Crimes to answer for. It will be needless to relate the Fortune of the Brothers, who were their Successive Masters, and the Favours they bestow'd on them. It is sufficient that the Estate came at last to a Daughter of the younger Brother, a Lady, who was the Admiration of the Age she liv'd in, and the Darling of the whole Country, and who had been attended from her Infancy by _Haggite_. Then it was _Avaro_ began his Tyranny; he was entrusted with all the Affairs of Consequence, and there was nothing done without his Knowledge. He marry'd his Daughters to some of the most considerable Estates in the Neighbourhood, and was related by Marriage to one _Baconface_, a sort of Bailiff to his Lady. He, and _Baconface_ and _Haggite_ got into Possession, as it were, of their Lady's Estate, and carry'd it with so high a Hand, were so haughty to the Rich, and oppressive to the Poor, that they quickly began to make themselves odious; but for their better Security, they form'd a sort of Confederacy with one _Dammyblood_, _Clumzy_ their Son-in-Law, _Splitcause_ an Attorney, and _Mouse_ a noted Ballad-Maker, and some others. As soon as they had done this, they began so to domineer, that there was no Living for those who would not compliment, or comply with them in their Villany. _Haggite_ cry'd, _Lord, Madam_, to her Mistress, _It must be so_; _Avaro_ swore, _By_ G----d, and _Baconface_ shook his Head, and look'd dismally. They made every Tenant pay a Tax, and every Servant considerably out of his Wages toward the Mounding their Lady's Estate, as they pretended, but most part of it went into their own Pockets. Once upon a Time, the Tenants grumbling at their Proceedings, _Clumzy_, the Son-in-Law, brought in a Parcel of Beggars to settle upon the Estate. Thus they liv'd for some Years, till they grew Richer than their Mistress, and were, perhaps, the Richest Servants in the World: Nay, what is the most Remarkable, and will scarcely find Belief in future Ages, they began at last to deny her Title to the Estate, and affirm, she held it only by their Permission and Connivance. Things were come to this pass, when one of the Tenants Sons from _Oxf----rd_ preach'd up Obedience to their Lady, and the Necessity of their Downfall, who oppos'd it. This open'd the Eyes of all the honest Tenants, but enrag'd _Avaro_ and his Party, to that Degree, that they had hir'd a Pack of Manag'd Bull-Dogs, with a Design to bait him, and had done it infallibly, had not the Gentry interpos'd, and the Country People run into his Assistance. These, with much ado, muzled the Dogs, and petition'd their Lady to discard the Mismanagers, who consented to it. Great were the Endeavours, and great the Struggles of the Faction, for so they were call'd, to keep themselves in Power, as the Histories of those Times mention. They stirr'd up all their Ladies Acquaintance to speak to her in their behalf, wrote Letters to and fro, swore and curs'd, laugh'd and cry'd, told the most abominable and inconsistent Lyes, but all to no Purpose: They spent their Money, lavish'd away their Beef, Pudding, and _October_, most unmercifully, and made several _Jointed-Babies_ to shew for Sights, and please the Tenants Sons about _Christmas_. Old _Drybones_ was then the Parson of the Parish, a Man of the most notorious Character, who would change his Principles at any Time to serve a Turn, preach or pray _Extempore_, talk Nonsense, or any Thing else, for the Advancement of _Avaro_ and his Faction. He was look'd upon to be the greatest Artist in _Legerdemain_ in that Country; and had a Way of shewing the Pope and little Master in a Box, but the Figures were so very small, it was impossible for any Body but himself to discern them. He was hir'd, as is suppos'd, to tax the New Servants with Popery, together with their Mistress, which he preach'd in several Churches thereabouts; but his Character was too well known to make any Thing credited that came from him. There are several Particulars related, both by Tradition and the Manuscripts, concerning the turning out of these Servants, which would require greater Volumes than I design. It is enough, that notwithstanding their Endeavours, they were Discarded, and the Lady chose her new Servants out of the most honest and substantial of her Tenants, of undoubted Abilities, who were tied to her by Inclination as well as Duty. These began a Reformation of all the Abuses committed by _Avaro_ and _Baconface_, which discover'd such a Scene of Roguery to the World, that one would hardly think the most mercenary Favourites could be guilty of. _Avaro_ now began to be very uneasie, and to be affrighted at his own Conscience; he found nothing would pacifie the enrag'd Tenants, and that his Life wou'd be but a sufficient Recompence for his Crimes. His Money which he rely'd on, and which he lavish'd away to Bribe off his Destruction, had not Force enough to Protect him: He could not, as it is reported, Sit still in one Place for two Minutes, never Slept at all, Eat little or nothing, Talk'd very rambling and inconsistent, of _Merit_, _Hardships_, _Accounts_, _Perquisites_, _Commissioners_, _Bread_ and _Bread-Waggons_, but was never heard to mention any _Cheese_. He came and made a Confession in his own House to some People he never saw before in his Life, and which shews no little Disorder in his Brain; _That, whatever they might think of him, he was as Dutiful a Servant as any his Mistress had_. _Haggite_ rav'd almost as bad as he, and had got St. _Anthony's Fire_ in her Face; but it is a question, says Dr. _G--th_, whether there was any Thing Ominous in that, since it is probable, the Distemper only chang'd it's Situation. Mean while, it was agreed by _Baconface_ and others, that a Consultation should be call'd at _Avaro_'s House, something Decisive resolv'd on, in order to prevent their Ruin; and accordingly _Jacobo_ the Messenger was sent to inform the Cabal of it. Dismal and horrid was the Night of that infernal Consultation, nothing heard but the melancholly Murmuring of Winds, and the Croaking of Toads and Ravens; Every thing seem'd Wild and Desert, and double Darkness overspread the Hemisphere: Thunder and Lightning, Storms and Tempest, and Earthquakes, seem'd to Presage something more then Ordinary, and added to the Confusion of that Memorable Night. Nature sicken'd, and groan'd, as it were, under the Tortures of universal Ruine. Not a Servant in the House but had Dreamt the strangest Dreams, and _Haggite_ her self had seen a Stranger in the Candle. The Fire languish'd and burnt Blue, and the Crickets sung continually about the Oven: How far the Story is true concerning the Warming-Pan and Dishes, I cannot say, but certain it is, a Noise was heard like that of rolling Pease from the top of the House to the bottom; and the Windows creak'd, and the Doors rattled in a manner not a little terrible. Several of their Servants made Affidavit, That _Haggite_ lost a red Petticoat, a Ruff, and a Pair of Green-Stockings, that were her Mother's, but the Night before, and a Diamond-Cross once gave her by a _Great Man_. 'Twas about Midnight before this Black Society got together, and no sooner were they seated, when _Avaro_ open'd to them in this manner. We have try'd, _says he_, my Friends, all the Artifices we cou'd invent or execute, but all in vain. Our Mistress has discover'd plainly our Intentions, and the Tenants will be neither flatter'd, nor frighted, nor brib'd into our Interest. It remains therefore, and what tho' we Perish in the Attempt, we must Perish otherwise, that once for all we make a Push at the very Life of----When, Lo! _says the Manuscript_, An unusual Noise interrupted his Discourse, and _Jacobo_ cry'd out, _The Devil, the Devil at the Door_. Scarce had he Time to speak, or they to listen, when the Apparition of Mother _Haggy_ entred; But, Who can describe the Astonishment they were then in? _Haggite_ sounded away in the Elbow-Chair as she sat, and _Avaro_, notwithstanding his boasted Courage, slunk under the Table in an Instant: _Baconface_ screw'd himself into a thousand Postures; and _Clumzy_ trembled till his very Water trickled from him. _Splitcause_ tumbled over a Joint-Stool, and _Mouse_ the Ballad-Maker broke a Brandy-Bottle that had been _Haggite_'s Companion for some Years: But _Dammyblood, Dammyblood_ only was the Man that had the Courage to cry out G-d D-m your Bl--d, What occasion for all this Bustle? Is it not the Devil, and is he not our old Acquaintance? This reviv'd them in some Measure; but the Ghastlyness of the Spectacle made still some Impression on them. There was an unaccountable Irregularity in her Dress, a Wanness in her Complexion, and a Disproportion in her Features. Flames of Fire issued from her Nostrils, and a sulphurous Smoak from her Mouth, which together with the Condition some of the Company were in, made a very noisome and offensive Smell; and _I have been told_, says a very Grave Alderman of _St. Albans, Some of them saw her Cloven Foot_. I Come, _says she_, at length, (in an hollow Voice, more terrible than the celebrated Stentor, or the brawny _Caledonian_) I Come, O ye Accomplices in Iniquity, to tell you of your Crimes, to bid you desist from these Cabals, for they are Fruitless, and prepare for Punishment that is Certain. I have, as long as I could, assisted you in your Glorious Execrable Attempts, but Time is now no more; the Time is coming when you must be deliver'd up to Justice. As to you, O Son and Daughter, _said she_, turning to them, 'tis but a few revolving Moons, e'er you must both fall a Sacrifice to your Avarice and Ambition, as I have told you heretofore, but your Mistress will be too Merciful, and tho' your ready Money must be refunded, your Estate in Land will Descend onto your Heirs. But you, O _Baconface_, you have Merited nothing to save either your Life or your Estate, be contented therefore with the Loss of both: And _Clumzy, says she_, you must have the same Fate, your Insolence to your Lady, and the Beggars you brought in upon the Tenants will require it. _Dammyblood, continues she_, turning towards him, you must expect a considerable Fine; but _Splitcause_ and _Mouse_ may come off more easily. She said, gave a Shriek; and disappear'd; and the Cabal dispers'd with the utmost Consternation. _FINIS._ A CATALOGUE OF THE CAPITAL AND WELL-KNOWN LIBRARY of BOOKS, OF THE LATE CELEBRATED Dr. ARBUTHNOT, DECEASED; Which will be Sold by AUCTION, By Mess.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
