The Quaker and his maid. 1675.
On June 26th, 1675, a warrant was issued by the Secretary of State
to search for this pamphlet. The editor has not as yet been able
to discover a copy. It was reprinted in the year 1739 under this
title, "A merry conversation which lately passed between a very
noted Quaker and his maid, upon a very merry occasion. To which is
added, The Members to their Sovereign, By Hil--d Ja--bs, Esqre.
Third edition." It is a grossly indecent production. A copy of this
reprint is in the editor's possession, purchased from the library
of the late George Daniel, Esq., Canonbury Square. It is in octavo,
and contains 18 pages.
