[4] He was the author of _An Examination of Dr. Clarke's Scripture-Doctrine of the Trinity, with a Confutation of it_ (1719). The work is a paragraph by paragraph refutation from the authority of scripture of the _Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity_ (1712) by the metaphysical Dr. Samuel Clarke, whose unorthodox views prevented Queen Caroline from making him Archbishop of Canterbury. The Reverend Mr. Haywood was upon safe ground in attacking a book already condemned in Convocation. [5] "Whereas Elizabeth Haywood, Wife of the Reverend Mr. Valentine Haywood, eloped from him her Husband on Saturday the 26th of November last past, and went away without his Knowledge and Consent: This is to give Notice to all Persons in general, That if any one shall trust her either with Money or Goods, or if she shall contract Debts of any kind whatsoever, the said Mr. Haywood will not pay the same."

[16] In Kane O'Hara's later and more popular transformation of Tom Thumb into a light opera, the song put into the mouth of the dying Grizzle by the first adapters was retained with minor changes. "My body's like a bankrupt's shop, My creditor is cruel death, Who puts to trade of life a stop, And will be paid with this last breath; Oh!" Apparently O'Hara made no further use of his predecessors. [17] S.P. Dom. George I, Bundle 22, No. 97. [18] In spite of the fact that "Translated from the French" appeared on the title-page, Mrs. Haywood has hitherto been accredited with the full authorship of these letters. They were really a loose translation of _Lettres Nouvelles.... Avec Treize Lettres Amoureuses d'une Dame à un Cavalier_ (Second Edition, Paris, 1699) by Edme Boursault, and were so advertised in the public prints. [19] Probably a misprint. When the novels appeared, _Idalia_ was the Unfortunate Mistress, _Lasselia_ the Self-abandon'd. Perhaps because the work outgrew its original proportions, or because short novels found a readier sale, the five were never published under the inclusive cautionary caption. [20] E. Gosse, _Gossip in a Library_, 161, "What Ann Lang Read." Only one of Mrs. Haywood's novels, _The City Jilt_, was ever issued in cheap form. T. Bailey, the printer, evidently combined his printing business with the selling of patent medicines. [21] The latter may be read in Savage's Poems, Cooke's edition, II, 162. The complimentary verses first printed before the original issue.
