Predictions of WIlliam Whiston.

[London], [Before 1850?]

16 unnumbered pages ; 8vo (20 cm)

Note at end of text (probably by Edward Hawkins): "This is very like the handwriting of George Steevens. It is extracted from Whistons Memoirs of himself." These were first published in 1749. Text begins: "'Tis here foretold that there should be signs in the Women, or more particularly that menstruous Women should bring forth monsters".

Copy 1. Part of a collection of printed tracts and ms extracts relating to Mary Toft, assembled by Edward Hawkins c. 1851. Bound in a separate volume with typed contents list. This item in a different hand and written on hand made paper. From the library of Edwin Clarke.
