The Life of *, &c., with the circumstances of his Conversion at Providence Chapel, in London, &c. Bath, 1801.

2nd edition, Bath, printed for Meyler & Co., London, Priestley, &c., 1801.

“It appears to us that under the similitude ... of memoirs of a Methodistical chimney-sweeper, a severe attack is here made on the principles of certain sectarians, the predestinarian tribe, which are here painted in the most horrible colours!—and this is done under such guise that some credulous readers may imagine the pamphlet to have really been written by a person of the description announced in the title-page. Other ideas, however, may be excited by perusing the Remark printed at the end of this apocryphal performance.”—Monthly Review xxxv. 215.

Letters of Advice [on a wife, a husband, the marriage ceremony, acquaintances, &c.] from a Lady of Distinction to her Niece, the Duchess of *, &c., shortly after her Marriage. London, Colburn, 1819.

“The following letters were written by the Countess * * * * * * * to her niece, the late Duchess of * * * * * * * * * *, shortly after her marriage, which took place in the year 1774. The internal evidence of their genuineness is so strong, and must be so satisfactory to the minds of all who peruse them with the attention they deserve, that the Editor is content,” etc.

Which, we suppose, means that these pretended letters are an imposture, in as much as they pretended to come from a person of rank, while in reality they are the work of some literary hack. It would by no means be the first that issued under Colburn’s auspices.
