Note 4 — INTRODUCTION

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.
