Note 187 — Chapter II · LEARNED LADIES IN ENGLAND FROM 1650 TO 1760 (continued 2)
Reading edition
In 1656 there appeared a book by Elizabeth Major entitled Honey on the Rod, or a Comfortable Contemplation for one in Affliction, with Sundry Poems. By the Unworthiest of the Servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. In 1652 had appeared anonymously Eliza's Babes, or the Virgin's Offerings. A detailed examination of the two books leads to a surmise that they are by the same author. What is probably a unique copy of Eliza's Babes is in the British Museum.
