the Year of the Rebellious Phanatick's Downfall, 1660." "Printed at N., with Licence," is the cautious imprint of a republication of _Doleman's Conference_ in 1681. _A proper Project to Startle Fools_ is "Printed in a Land where Self's cry'd up, and Zeal's cry'd down, 1699." _The Impartial Accountant, wherein it is demonstratively made known how to pay the National Debt, and that without a New Tax, or any Inconveniency to the People_, is "Printed for a Proper Person," and, I may add, can be had of a _certain person_, if Mr. Gladstone will come down with an adequate consideration for the secret! These accountants are all mysterious,--you would think they were plotting to empty the treasury rather than to fill it; another says his _Essay Upon National Credit_ is "Printed by A. R. in Bond's Stables!" Thomas Scott, the English minister at Utrecht, published, among other oddities, _Vox Coelis; or Newes from Heaven, being Imaginary Conversations there between Henry VIII.(!), Edward VI, Prince Henrie, and others_, "Printed in Elysium, 1624." Edward Raban, an Englishman, who set up a press in the far north, published an edition of Lady Culros' _Godlie Dreame_, and finding that no title commanded such respect among the canny Scots as that of _Laird_, announced the book to be "Imprinted at Aberdene, by E. R., Laird of Letters, 1644." _The Instructive Library_, containing a list of apocryphal books, and a satire upon some theological authors of that day, is "Printed for the Man in the Moon, 1710." _The Oxford Sermon Versified_, by Jacob Gingle, Esq., is "Printed by Tim. Atkins at Dr. Sacheverell's Head, near St. Paul's, 1729." "Printed, and to be had at the Pamphlett Shops of London and Westminster," was a common way of circulating productions of questionable morals or loyalty. The Chapmen, or Flying-Stationers, had many curious dodges of this kind to give a relish to their literary wares: _The Secret History of Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex_ derived additional interest in the eyes of their country customers by its being "Printed at Cologne for Will-with-the-Wisp, at the Sign of the Moon in the Ecliptic, 1767." The Poems of that hard-headed Jacobite, Alexander Robertson of Struan, are "Printed at Edinburgh for Charles Alexander, and sold at his house in Geddes Close, where Subscribers may call for their Copies, circa 1750."[4] _The New Dialogues of the Dead_ are "Printed for D. Y., at the foot of Parnassus Hill, 1684." Professor Tenant's poem of _Papistry Stormed_ imitates the old typographers, it being "Imprentit at Edinbrogh be Oliver and Boyd, anno 1827." A rare old book is Goddard's {145} _Mastiffe Whelpe_, "Imprinted amongst the Antipodes, and are to be sould where they are to be bought." Another, by the same author, is a _Satirical Dialogue_, "Imprinted in the Low Countreyes for all such Gentlemen as are not altogether idle, nor yet well occupyed."
