Notes

Bndg: Bound in pamphlet volume Resp: F.G. = James Makittrick Adair Prov: Inscribed "from the author for the Library of the College of Physicians Edinr."; With ms. annotations in the author's hand, including the following written on the verso of page xi - "The author of the following jeu d'esprit holds seduction, whether of single or married women, in the utmost abhorrence and therefore cannot be supposed to have published it with a wish to extend a spirit of licentiousness. The very reverse was indeed his motive. Understanding that one of Mesmer's pupils had, under pretext of practising his art, debauched a female patient; he wished to excite the indignation of men of learning, the clergy especially, and to interest them in discountenancing so villainous & dangerous an imposture."
