Shebanek, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library - - - - -INTRODUCTION - - -The two pieces here reproduced have long been unavailable; their -connections with Arbuthnot are rather complex. _The Story of the St. -Alb-ns Ghost_ has been ambiguously associated with Arbuthnot since the -year of its first publication, but it does not seem to have been -reprinted since the nineteenth century when editors regularly included -it among the minor works of Swift. Whoever wrote it, the _Story_ is a -lively and effective Tory squib, whose narrative vigor can carry even -the twentieth-century reader over the occasional topical obscurities. _A -Catalogue of the ... Library of ... Dr. Arbuthnot_ has never been -reprinted at all, and appears to be unknown by scholars who have thus -far written about Arbuthnot. - - -_The Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_, the first piece included, has -always been of doubtful authorship, and must for the present so -continue. Two days after the _Story_ first appeared, Swift tantalizingly -wrote to Stella: "I went to Ld Mashams to night, & Lady Masham made me -read to her a pretty 2 penny Pamphlet calld the St Albans Ghost. I -thought I had writt it my self; so did they, but I did not" (22 February -1712). Whoever wrote it, the _Story_ succeeded: it was pirated within a -week, and had reached its third regular "edition" within three weeks of -the first; it appeared in a fifth and apparently final edition on 19 -July 1712.[1] Now just during these same months Arbuthnot was producing -his first political satires, five pamphlets later gathered under the -title _History of John Bull_. He published the first of these 4 March -1712 and the last 31 July 1712.[2] There are several thematic and -methodological connections between _The Story of The St. Alb-ns Ghost_ -and the John Bull pamphlets: as Tory propaganda pieces, they attack -leading Whigs and make the usual suggestions about irreligion, moral -turpitude and misuse of public funds. Furthermore, they do so by means -of vigorous if sometimes difficult reductive allegories which mock the -victims by presenting them as farcical figures from low life. The -connection as well as the difficulties must have appeared quite early, -for some enterprising publisher (presumably Curll)[3] soon brought out -_A Complete Key to the Three Parts of Law is a Bottomless-Pit, and the -Story of the St. Alban's Ghost_. Although the exact date of this is not -known, it must lie between the _termini_ 17 April and 9 May 1712, the -dates of the third and fourth parts respectively of John Bull. -Furthermore, a "Second Edition Corrected" of the Key appeared before the -publication of pamphlet four. (The last pages of these two Keys, -concerning the _Story of the St. Alb-ns Ghost_, are reproduced in the -Appendix.) The Key ran through two further editions as _A Complete Key -to the Four Parts of Law is a Bottomless-Pit, and the Story of the St. -Alban's Ghost_, presumably before 31 July 1712, and came to a fifth -(seemingly last) edition with a more general title referring to "all -Parts" of John Bull, and still including the _Story_. - -While the Keys by association suggest Arbuthnot as author, the only -other contemporary document attributes the _Story_ to a different -physician and wit: the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. William -Wagstaffe_ (London, 1726) reprint the fourth edition of the Story. Now -the _Miscellaneous Works_ were printed some five months after the death -of Dr. Wagstaffe and more than three months after that of the supposed -editor Dr. Levett;[4] it is possible that the contents are in part -erroneous. In any case, Arbuthnot, Wagstaffe and Swift remain the -possible authors with whom scholars must deal until some further -evidence is forthcoming. Roscoe interprets Swift's ambiguous remarks in -the _Journal to Stella_ as an indirect acknowledgement, and Dilke goes -one step further in assuming that the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of -Dr. Wagstaffe_ are a mystification, a means for Swift to pass off works -which he did not wish to include in the _Miscellanies_ with Pope. Sir -Walter Scott thinks that the _Story_ is probably a collaboration between -Arbuthnot and Swift, "judging from the style"; Professor Herbert Davis -dissociates Wagstaffe material generally from the writings of Swift, but -does not specifically mention the _Story_; however, "Mr. Granger thought -St. Alban's Ghost, attributed to Dr. Wagstaffe, was [Arbuthnot's]."[5] - -Although recent scholars seem to agree in selecting Wagstaffe as author -of the _Story_, the evidence of the 1726 _Works_ is implicitly -contradicted by the Keys. I have made two separate attempts to solve the -question of authorship, neither of which has been fully satisfactory. -The first of these, a computerized test based on the methods of -Professor Louis T. Milic for distinguishing works by Swift from works by -other authors, has given inconclusive results. In this test the _Story_ -was the chief unknown, and was compared with samples of similar length -from Swift, Arbuthnot, Wagstaffe and, as a control, Mrs. Manley, who -wrote politically keyed narratives but has never been associated with -the _Story_. The _Story_ turned out to be fairly similar to all four -authors in the number of different three-word patterns (D), and unlike -all of them in number of Introductory Connectives (IC), where Wagstaffe -stood the highest, and the _Story_ by far the lowest. In the proportion -of Verbals (VB) the _Story_ and Wagstaffe were fairly close together and -different from the other authors tested, who clustered near the Swift -figures. Thus the test tends to exclude Swift, Arbuthnot and Mrs. Manley -as possible authors, but does not encourage a full confidence in -replacing them with Wagstaffe. (It also tends to show that some of the -other pieces included in the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. -Wagstaffe_ differ considerably in the usages tested both from one -another and from the patterns established by the signed works of Dr. -Walstaffe.)[6] - -My second attempt was based on textual changes among editions of the -_Story_. In the second edition there are three small changes from the -first; the third and fourth editions seem to be line-for-line reprints -of the second. (The "sham, Imperfect Sort" introduces a large number of -variants, mainly errors.) In the fifth edition, however, somebody has -altered the typography: many past forms of verbs are altered. Thus at -the bottom of p. 3 _unbody'd_ becomes _unbodyed_, _carry'd_ and -_deliver'd_ become _carryed_, _delivered_. The task of editing is not -complete; particularly near the end of the fifth edition many verbs -still carry the apostrophe of the earlier editions. The date of the -attempt suggests that Swift's _Proposal for Correcting, Improving and -Ascertaining the English Tongue_ (first published 17 May 1712, a week -after the fourth edition of the _Story_) could have provided the -motivation, and also that Swift himself could not have been the person -who made the changes. A study of a few contemporaries shows that Swift -himself tried to eliminate the apostrophes from the _Conduct of the -Allies_, first published 27 November 1711, and from other works -published after that date, but not from works published before that -date. Oldisworth, apparently under the instructions of Swift, tried to -do the same during the first few months of the _Examiner_, vol. 2 -(beginning 6 December 1711), but by the time he reached volume 3, -Oldisworth had apparently given up the struggle against unwilling -printers. Arbuthnot, Roper and Manley are not very interested in the -matter, and neither are other pamphleteers published by Morphew during -the months immediately following Swift's _Proposal_. The items included -in the so-called _Miscellaneous Works of Dr. Wagstaffe_, on the other -hand, fall into three groups chronologically: those which precede -Swift's _Proposal_, and include many apostrophied verb forms; those -which immediately follow Swift's _Proposal_, and include abnormally few -apostrophied verb forms; the two "late" pieces (1715, 1719), which are -back to the proportion of apostrophied verbs to be found in the early -items. If Pseudo-Wagstaffe was indeed a single writer, then he followed -the same pattern as Oldisworth, but began later and continued longer to -use verbs with an _-ed_ ending. Since the genuine signed prose works of -Dr. Wagstaffe come "late" (1717, 1721) and have a fairly large (i.e., -normal) number of apostrophied verbs, there is no evidence here as to -whether or not Pseudo-Wagstaffe is Wagstaffe; at least there is no -contradiction. In the light of these facts, we can see that neither -Swift nor Arbuthnot is a probable author of the _Story_; Swift would -presumably have altered verb typography in the first and all editions, -and Arbuthnot would not have altered it at all.[7] In these two projects -on authorship we find that authors other than Wagstaffe tend to be -eliminated, but that Wagstaffe himself is not strongly confirmed. The -authorship remains as problematic as before, and the _Story_ may as well -for this century continue with the Arbuthnotiana, as it did during the -nineteenth with the Swiftiana. - - -The device of using a ghost story as vehicle for political satire was by -1712 a well-established one. Elias F. Mengel Jr. refers to "the 'ghost' -convention, so popular in the Restoration,"[8] and an important poem of -Queen Anne's reign shows some similarities with and perhaps provided a -model for the _Story_. In _Moderation Display'd_ (London, 1705) the -recently deceased second Earl of Sunderland rises from Hell to confound -his guilty Whig companions. Tonson (Bibliopolo) is the most terrified, -and as in the _Story_ Wharton (Clodio) is so wicked that he is not -frightened at all. The _Story_, however, is both more subtle and more -flexible than most other satiric "ghost" narratives. It compresses the -actual apparition into the last quarter of the narrative, despite the -perhaps deliberately misleading title. Nearly half of the _Story_ deals -with previous events; much of the rest is machinery, introduction of -seemingly irrelevant details with a mischievous verisimilitude which -actually advances the main satiric aims. The opening paragraph, for -example, first denounces Roman Catholic superstition, a denunciation -which almost every Englishman could join, and then turns the fire toward -"Our Sectarists." The war on heterodoxy continues in the references to -Dr. Garth, the Whig poet and physician noted for his scepticism in -religion, to William Whiston who during the winter of 1711-1712 was -transcribing documents and writing elaborate treatises to uphold his -view that Christian churches and theologians had all been essentially -heretical since the time of Athanasius, and to the Reverend and -Honourable Lumley Lloyd, a low-church minister whose sermons attracted -at least two Tory satires.[9] None of these men belongs in the -narrative, and only Garth was even remotely connected with the -Marlboroughs, but all of them were Whigs, and in various ways serve to -"demonstrate" that Whigs must be false brethren to the Church of -England. - -This charge, although a cliché of Tory satires, is here made indirect -and witty, as are the staple charges against the Duke and Duchess of -Marlborough. Whereas, however, the wickedness of nonconformity had been -attacked for decades, the Duke of Marlborough had been associated with -the Whigs for a relatively short time. As late as 1706 Wagstaffe could -generously declare that "_Woodstock's_ too little" a reward (_Ramelies, -a Poem_), but since Swift's "Bill of British Ingratitude" in the -_Examiner_ (17 November 1710) the Tory press had begun to say that the -rewards were too many and too great. The _Story_ repeats the charge that -Avaro and Haggite "grew Richer than their Mistress" (p. 11), together -with the ridiculous insinuations of cowardice and incompetence found -constantly reiterated in the second volume of _Examiners_. The Duchess -of Marlborough attracted massive satire earlier than her husband, in -such books as _The Secret History of Queen Zarah_ (London, 1705),[10] -and her habit of saying "Lawrd" with an affected drawl is mentioned in -_The Secret History of Arlus and Odolphus_ (n.p., 1710), pp. 21, 22, 23. - -Although not so frequent as attacks on the Duke and Duchess of -Marlborough, attacks on Mrs. Jennings the mother of the Duchess had -already been made, and indeed the _Story_ relies for part of its effect -on the fact that Mrs. Jennings is already associated with witchcraft. In -_Memoirs of Europe_ (London, 1710)[10] for example, she inherits a -familiar spirit from Sir Kenelm Digby, there reported the real father of -the Duchess (II, 44-46). In _Oliver's Pocket Looking-Glass_ (n.p., 1711) -Mrs. Jennings appears as "the famous Mother Shipton, who by the Power -and Influence of her Magick Art, had plac'd a Daughter in the same -Station at Court [i.e., Maid of Honour] with _Meretricia_ [Arabella -Churchill] ..." (p. 21). Because the author of the Story assumes that -previous Tory allegations are well-known, he is free to perform elegant -variations or to allude indirectly. Assuming the fact of witchcraft -allows him to heap up an ambiguous burlesque of popular superstition -which is in part entertainment and in part rebuttal of recent Whig -sneers at Tory credulity during the Jane Wenham witch trial.[11] Here as -throughout the pamphlet, the author demonstrates the virtuosity which -even Swift commends. Since Swift praises few pamphlets except those -written by himself and Arbuthnot (or occasionally Mrs. Manley), the -_Story_ enters a fairly select company. It is the only Pseudo-Wagstaffe -piece mentioned by name in the _Journal to Stella_, the only one found -worthy to stand beside the productions of Swift and Arbuthnot.[12] - - -The second document reproduced claims to be _A Catalogue of the Capital -and Well-Known Library of Books, of the Late Celebrated Dr. Arbuthnot_. -To the extent that the claim is true, the _Catalogue_ will be important -for studies of the Scriblerian Club generally, since Arbuthnot is the -member with the greatest reputation for learning. Although the contents -of a man's library do not correspond exactly with the contents of his -mind, scholars can discover a good deal about the intellectual methods -of Dr. Arbuthnot by examining the books which he owned. Until now this -has not been possible; the _Catalogue_ is a recent acquisition of the -British Museum, not so much as mentioned in books thus far published -about Arbuthnot. For several reasons, however, the document must be used -with caution. First of all, the compilers list a total of 2525 volumes, -but they itemize only 1639,[13] and even then often give inadequate -information. Furthermore, a xerox copy of the Sale Book records of the -auction, very kindly sent to me by the present Messrs. Christie, Manson -and Woods, shows that almost a quarter of the lots (items 53-65, -243-245, 276-372, 426), or 999 volumes, belonged not to the Arbuthnot -estate but to other owners. Finally, Dr. Arbuthnot died in 1735, whereas -the auction was not held until December 1779, about three and a half -months after the death of his bachelor son George. Of the books -belonging to the Arbuthnot estate, almost 20% were printed after 1735, -and belonged not to the father but to the son, or perhaps in some cases -to the daughter Anne, who lived with her brother.[14] The legal books -are likely all to have been George Arbuthnot's, and presumably some of -the other books printed before 1735 also. Despite these obscurities, the -Catalogue throws a good deal of new light upon the most learned -Scriblerian--and upon his family. - -Dr. Arbuthnot seems to have bought relatively few antiquarian books; -about 20% of the itemized volumes belonging to his estate come before -1691, the year when he first went to London. In selecting these older -works Arbuthnot has shown a catholic taste and linguistic ability: he -bought grammars and dictionaries, besides works on medicine and science, -literature, history and religion, written in English, French, Italian, -Latin and Greek, plus a solitary Hebrew Bible (item 234); his copy of -Udall's _Key to the Holy Tongue_ is dated 1693 (item 183). Less than a -quarter of these earlier books are in English. The sole "cradle" date of -the catalogue, 1495 for _Rosa Anglica_ (item 417), may be a misprint: -editions of 1492 and 1595, among others, have been previously recorded, -but none for 1495.[15] - -When compared with the antiquarian books, the list of titles from the -Arbuthnot estate either dated or first published after the death of Dr. -Arbuthnot reveals a number of differences. English is the predominant -language of the late group, with French a poor second. There is another -Hebrew Bible (253), a Spanish Cervantes (25), an Italian Machiavelli -(96), but no Greek book at all, and astonishingly only two Latin: a -dictionary (89) and a Horace (147); Cicero appears in a French -translation (26). In part, of course, the shift in languages accompanies -the general decline of humanistic learning in the eighteenth century, -but it also strengthens our knowledge of Dr. Arbuthnot's erudition. -Although apparently not interested in science, George Arbuthnot read -widely, however, in other areas (see for example 10, 15, 49, 158, 160, -168, 170, 254, 271). Similarly, the books from outside the Arbuthnot -estate are less learned than those of Arbuthnot. They do include two -Greek testaments (290, 310) and some recent scientific works (e.g. 314, -*349), but lack the great Greek writers whom Arbuthnot collected, such -as Plato (125), Aristotle (126), Herodotus (385) or Aristophanes (387). -Whereas Arbuthnot read Newton's treatises (81, 85, 197, 217), one of the -other owners read Algarotti's simplification (*312). - -The subjects of the books in the Arbuthnot estate can be variously -divided. By sheer number of titles, literature is the most important -subject, closely followed by science (including medicine as the biggest -sub-group), and then by history. In number of volumes, however, the -historical section is considerably larger than the literary, and science -comes third. Books on geography and travel, philosophical treatises, -grammars and dictionaries, even a work on astrology (109), attest to the -breadth of Arbuthnot's interests. A few works in the fine arts are -listed, somewhat surprisingly only two of them on music (32, 373). The -military item (391) may come from the Doctor's brother George, who was -in the army, or it may represent another aspect of the general interest -in all human affairs. There is a fairly large number of religious works, -including books by Eusebius and Sozomen (127), Spotswood (380), Huet -(383), Charles Leslie (251), Leibniz (141), Tillotson (395) and Jeremy -Taylor (3,394). The elaborately bound Greek Septuagint (272) and Greek -New Testament (273) must be the ones which Arbuthnot specified in his -will (the only books there mentioned), calling them "the Gift of my late -Royal Mistress Queen Anne."[16] As the _Catalogue_ does not describe -any other fine bindings, the other books seem to have been bought for -use rather than for show. - -A study of the duplications among the books in the Arbuthnot estate -reinforces the opinion that the books were bought for use. The only -items appearing three times are the works of Pope (76, 180) and Pope's -_Iliad_ (11, 77, 242). Since two of the former were published after the -death of Arbuthnot, and must have belonged to the Arbuthnot children, -perhaps the extra _Iliads_ were equally the property of Arbuthnot's -heirs. The duplicates of Molière (21, 135), Prideaux (50, 379), and -Veneroni (90, *229) could also have belonged to the children. However, -the bulk of the duplications seem to involve obtaining a later edition -or a necessary text, and thus to have a scholarly rationale. For -example, the two editions of Eustachius are dated 1714, 1728 (115, 259), -those of Livy are dated 1578, 1708 (7, 386), while both sets of -Sennertus seem to be broken (406, 407). - -Not surprisingly, Arbuthnot owned a number of satirical works. In -addition to Pope and Molière, already mentioned, he owned Petronius (9), -Juvenal and Persius (230), Terence (231), Plautus (232), Boileau (98), -Gay (79) and Swift's _Tale of a Tub_ (178). He presumably bought or was -given other works by Swift, but no others are itemized; perhaps some -were in the "Large parcel of pamphlets" (1). George Arbuthnot added a -copy of _The Four Last Years of Queen Anne_ (173), not published until -1758. - -Although literature bulks large among Arbuthnot's books, English poetry -is not very conspicuous. According to some of the dates, Arbuthnot may -have developed his interest in English poetry rather late in life. -Although he owned a 1611 Spenser (423), he did not buy the listed -Chaucer (110) until 1721. Pope may have inspired the urge to acquire -Milton (80, 185), but there seems to be no literary reason for wanting a -Milton in French (184). Some other member of the family was, however, -sufficiently interested in Milton to buy Newton's edition in 1749 (78). -The minor poets listed are also late in date (72, 187). The only Dryden -is the translation of Virgil (16), which could represent an interest in -classical just as much as in English poetry. There are, however, two -copies of Prior's _Poems_ in the large paper edition (106, 252). As the -compilers of the _Catalogue_ have left many volumes unspecified, there -must have been other poetic works, but the listed sample is rather -small. - -Characteristically uninterested in his personal fame, Arbuthnot kept no -copies of his own writings except the reissued _Tables of Ancient Coins_ -(84, 193), associated with a favorite son. The reader revealed by this -library is the same Arbuthnot whom his contemporaries admired: witty, -yet thoughtful and religious; deeply learned, yet modest. His children, -although less learned than the father, continued to buy books on current -topics, particularly literature, history and travel. Aged over seventy, -George Arbuthnot was still ingesting such materials as Laughton's -_History of Ancient Egypt_ (168) and Raynal's comprehensive history of -colonialism (10). Despite the obscurity of the word "more" under which -the compilers listed half of the total volumes, even the sample of the -library is a welcome addition to our knowledge about Dr. Arbuthnot. - - -University of Victoria - - - - -NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION - - -[1] See advertisements in the _Evening Post_, 19, 21, 26 February, 13 -March 1712; and in the _Post-Boy_, 10 May and 19 July 1712. - -The research necessary for the present publication was supported by a -grant from the University of Victoria and by a Leave Fellowship from the -Canada Council. - -[2] The dates given by Professor H.

Three of these dates are correct, and the other two -are close, but can be corrected by consulting papers published more -often. The first pamphlet seems to have appeared on 4 March 1712 (see -_Post-Boy_ of that date), and the third may have appeared on 16 April -1712 (see the _Daily Courant_ of 16 and 17 April; the _Post-Boy_, -however, agrees with the _Examiner_ on the date 17 April). - -[3] Although no publisher is named on the title page of the Keys, the -fifth edition is advertised among "New Pamphlets Printed for E.

ALB-NS GHOST. - - -I can scarcely say whether we ought to attribute the Multitude of Ghosts -and Apparitions, which were so common in the Days of our Forefathers, to -the Ignorance of the People, or the Impositions of the Priest. The -Romish Clergy found it undoubtedly for their Interest to deceive them, -and the Superstition of the People laid themselves open to receive -whatsoever They thought proper to inculcate. Hence it is, that their -Traditions are little else, than the Miracles and Atchievements of -unbody'd Heroes, a Sort of spiritual Romance, so artfully carry'd on, -and delivered in so probable a Manner, as may easily pass for Truth on -those of an uncultivated Capacity, or a credulous Disposition. Our -Sectarists indeed still retain the Credulity, as well as some of the -Tenets of that Church; and Apparitions, and such like, are still the -Bug-bears made use of by some of the most Celebrated of their -Holders-forth to terrify the old Women of their Congregation, (who are -their surest Customers) and enlarge their Quarterly Subscriptions. I -know one of these Ambidexters, who never fails of Ten or Twenty Pounds -more than Ordinary, by nicking _something Wonderful_ in due Time; he -often cloaths his whole Family _by the Apparition of a Person lately -executed at_ Tyburn; or, _a Whale seen at_ Greenwich, _or thereabouts_; -and I am credibly inform'd, that his Wife has made a Visit with a Brand -new Sable Tippet on, since the Death of the _Tower Lions_. - -But as these Things will pass upon none but the Ignorant or -Superstitious, so there are others that will believe nothing of this -Nature, even upon the clearest Evidence. There are, it must be own'd, -but very few of these Accounts to be depended on; some however are so -palpable, and testify'd by so good Authority, by those of such undoubted -Credit, and so discerning a Curiosity, that there is no Room to doubt of -their Veracity, and which none but a Sceptic can disbelieve. Such is the -following Story of Mother _Haggy_ of St. _Alb----ns_, in the Reign of -King _James_ the First, the mighty Pranks she plaid in her Life-time, -and her Apparition afterwards, made such a Noise, both at Home and -Abroad, and were so terrible to the Neighbourhood, that the Country -People, to this Day, cannot hear the Mention of her Name, without the -most dismal Apprehensions. The Injuries they receiv'd from the Sorceries -and Incantations of the Mother, and the Injustice and Oppression of the -Son and Daughter, have made so deep an Impression upon their Minds, and -begot such an Hereditary Aversion to their Memory, that they never speak -of them, without the bitterest Curses and Imprecations. - -I have made it my Business, being at St. _Alb----ns_ lately, to enquire -more particularly into this Matter, and the Helps I have receiv'd from -the _most noted Men of Erudition in this City, have been Considerable_, -and to whom I make my publick Acknowledgment. The Charges I have been at -in _getting Manuscripts_, and Labour in _collating them_, the -Reconciling the Disputes about the most _material Circumstances_, and -adjusting the _various Readings_, as they have took me up a considerable -Time, so I hope they may be done to the Satisfaction of my Reader. I -wish I could have had Time to have distinguish'd by an Asterism the -Circumstances deliver'd by Tradition only, from those of the -Manuscripts, which I was advis'd to do by my worthy Friend the Reverend -Mr. _Wh----n_, who, had he not been _Employ'd otherways_, might have -been a very proper Person to have undertaken such a Performance. - -The best Manuscripts are now in the Hands of the Ingenious Dr. -_G----th_, where they are left for the Curious to peruse, and where any -_Clergyman_ may be welcome; for however he may have been abus'd by -those who deny him to be the Author of the _D----y_, and tax'd by others -with Principles and Practices unbecoming a Man of his Sense and Probity, -yet I will be bold to say in his Defence, that I believe he is as good a -Christian, as he is a Poet, and if he publishes any Thing on the late -D----d _M----y_, I don't question but it will be interspers'd with as -many Precepts of Reveal'd Religion, as the Subject is capable of -bearing: And it is very probable, those _Refin'd Pieces_ that the Doctor -has been pleas'd to own, since the Writing of the _D----y_, have been -look'd upon, by the lewd debauch'd Criticks of the Town, to be dull and -insipid, for no other Reason, but because they are grave and sober; but -this I leave for others to determine, and can say for his Sincerity, -that I am assur'd he believes the following Relation as much as any of -us all. - -Mother _Haggy_ was marry'd to a plain home-spun Yeoman of St. -_Alb----ns_, and liv'd in good Repute for some Years: The Place of her -Birth is disputed by some of the most celebrated Moderns, tho' they have -a Tradition in the Country, that she was never Born at all, and which is -most probable. At the Birth of her Daughter _Haggite_, something -happen'd very remarkable, and which gave Occasion to the Neighbourhood -to mistrust she had a Correspondence with _Old Nick_, as was confirm'd -afterwards, beyond the Possibility of Disproof. The Neighbours were got -together a Merry-making, as they term it, in the Country, when the old -Woman's High-crown'd Hat, that had been thrown upon the Bed's Tester -during the Heat of the Engagement, leap'd with a wonderful Agility into -the Cradle, and being catch'd at by the Nurse, was metamorphos'd into a -Coronet, which according to her Description, was not much unlike that of -a _German_ Prince; but it soon broke into a thousand Pieces. _Such_, -cries old Mother _Haggy, will be the Fortune of my Daughter, and such -her Fall_. The Company took but little Notice what she said, being -surpris'd at the Circumstance of the Hat. _But this is Fact_, says the -Reverend and Honourable L----y _L----d_, _and my Grandmother, who was a -Person of Condition, told me_, says He, _she knew the Man, who knew the -Woman, who was_, said she, _in the Room at that Instant_. The very same -Night, I saw a Comet, neither have I any Occasion to tell a Lye as to -this Particular, _says my Author_, brandishing its Tail in a very -surprising Manner in the Air, but upon the Breaking of a Cloud, I could -discern, _continues he_, a Clergyman at the Head of a Body of his own -Cloth, and follow'd by an innumerable Train of Laity, who coming towards -the Comet, it disappear'd. - -This was the first Time Mother _Haggy_ became suspected, and it was the -Opinion of the Wisest of the Parish, that they should Petition the King -to send her to be try'd for a Witch by the _Presbytery of Scotland_. How -this past off I cannot tell, but certain it is, that some of the Great -Ones of the Town were in with her, and 'tis said she was Serviceable to -them in their Amours: She had a Wash that would make the Skin of a -Blackamore as white as Alabaster, and another, that would restore the -Loss of a Maidenhead, _without any Hindrance of Business, or the -Knowledge of any one about them_. She try'd this Experiment so often -upon her Daughter _Haggite_, that more than Twenty were satisfy'd they -had her Virginity before Marriage. - -She soon got such a Reputation all about the Country, that there was not -a Cow, a Smock, or a silver Spoon lost, but they came to her to enquire -after it; All the young People flock'd to have their Fortunes told, -which, they say she never miss'd. She told _Haggite_'s Husband, he -should grow Rich, and be a Great Man, but by his Covetousness and -Griping of the Poor, should come to an ill End. All which happen'd so -exactly, _That there are several old Folks in our Town, who can remember -it, as if it was but Yesterday_. - -She has been often seen to ride full gallop upon a Broom-Stick at -Noon-Day, and swim over a River in a Kettle-Drum. Sometimes she wou'd -appear in the Shape of a Lioness, and at other times of a Hen, or a Cat; -but I have heard, could not turn herself into a Male Creature, or walk -over two Straws across. There were never known so many great Winds as -about that Time, or so much Mischief done by them: The Pigs gruntled, -and the Screech-Owls hooted oftner than usual; a Horse was found dead -one Morning with Hay in his Mouth; and a large overgrown Jack was caught -in a Fish-Pond thereabouts with a silver Tobacco-Box in his Belly; -several Women were brought to Bed of two Children, Some miscarry'd, and -old Folks died very frequently. - -These Things could not chuse but breed a great Combustion in the Town, -as they call it, and every Body certainly had rejoyc'd at her Death, -had she not been succeeded by a Son and Daughter, who, tho' they were no -Conjurers, were altogether as terrible to the Neighbourhood. She had two -Daughters, one of which was marry'd to a Man who went beyond Sea; the -other, her Daughter _Haggite_, to _Avaro_, whom we shall have Occasion -to mention in the Sequel of this Story. - -There liv'd at that Time in the Neighbourhood two Brothers, of a great -Family, Persons of a vast Estate and Character, and extreamly kind to -their Servants and Dependants. _Haggite_ by her Mother's Interest, was -got into this Family, and _Avaro_, who was afterwards her Husband, was -the Huntsman's Boy. He was a Lad of a fine Complexion, good Features, -and agreeable to the fair Sex, but wanted the Capacity of some of his -fellow Servants: Tho' he got a Reputation afterwards for a Man of -Courage, but upon no other Grounds, than by setting the Country Fellows -to Cudgelling or Boxing, and being a Spectator of a broken Head and a -bloody Nose. - -There are several authentic Accounts of the Behaviour of these Two, in -their respective Stations, and by what Means they made an Advancement of -their Fortunes. There are several Relations, I say, now extant, that -tell us, how one of these great Brothers took _Avaro_'s Sister for his -Mistress, which was the Foundation of his Preferment, and how _Haggite_, -by granting her Favours to any one who would go to the Expence of them, -became extreamly Wealthy, and how Both had gain'd the Art of getting -Money out of every Body they had to do with, and by the most -dishonourable Methods. Never perhaps, was any Couple so match'd in -every Thing as these, or so fit for one another: A Couple so link'd by -the Bonds of Iniquity, as well as Marriage, that it is impossible to -tell which had the greatest Crimes to answer for. - -It will be needless to relate the Fortune of the Brothers, who were -their Successive Masters, and the Favours they bestow'd on them. It is -sufficient that the Estate came at last to a Daughter of the younger -Brother, a Lady, who was the Admiration of the Age she liv'd in, and the -Darling of the whole Country, and who had been attended from her Infancy -by _Haggite_. - -Then it was _Avaro_ began his Tyranny; he was entrusted with all the -Affairs of Consequence, and there was nothing done without his -Knowledge. He marry'd his Daughters to some of the most considerable -Estates in the Neighbourhood, and was related by Marriage to one -_Baconface_, a sort of Bailiff to his Lady. He, and _Baconface_ and -_Haggite_ got into Possession, as it were, of their Lady's Estate, and -carry'd it with so high a Hand, were so haughty to the Rich, and -oppressive to the Poor, that they quickly began to make themselves -odious; but for their better Security, they form'd a sort of Confederacy -with one _Dammyblood_, _Clumzy_ their Son-in-Law, _Splitcause_ an -Attorney, and _Mouse_ a noted Ballad-Maker, and some others. As soon as -they had done this, they began so to domineer, that there was no Living -for those who would not compliment, or comply with them in their -Villany. _Haggite_ cry'd, _Lord, Madam_, to her Mistress, _It must be -so_; _Avaro_ swore, _By_ G----d, and _Baconface_ shook his Head, and -look'd dismally. They made every Tenant pay a Tax, and every Servant -considerably out of his Wages toward the Mounding their Lady's Estate, -as they pretended, but most part of it went into their own Pockets. Once -upon a Time, the Tenants grumbling at their Proceedings, _Clumzy_, the -Son-in-Law, brought in a Parcel of Beggars to settle upon the Estate. -Thus they liv'd for some Years, till they grew Richer than their -Mistress, and were, perhaps, the Richest Servants in the World: Nay, -what is the most Remarkable, and will scarcely find Belief in future -Ages, they began at last to deny her Title to the Estate, and affirm, -she held it only by their Permission and Connivance. - -Things were come to this pass, when one of the Tenants Sons from -_Oxf----rd_ preach'd up Obedience to their Lady, and the Necessity of -their Downfall, who oppos'd it. This open'd the Eyes of all the honest -Tenants, but enrag'd _Avaro_ and his Party, to that Degree, that they -had hir'd a Pack of Manag'd Bull-Dogs, with a Design to bait him, and -had done it infallibly, had not the Gentry interpos'd, and the Country -People run into his Assistance. These, with much ado, muzled the Dogs, -and petition'd their Lady to discard the Mismanagers, who consented to -it. - -Great were the Endeavours, and great the Struggles of the Faction, for -so they were call'd, to keep themselves in Power, as the Histories of -those Times mention. They stirr'd up all their Ladies Acquaintance to -speak to her in their behalf, wrote Letters to and fro, swore and -curs'd, laugh'd and cry'd, told the most abominable and inconsistent -Lyes, but all to no Purpose: They spent their Money, lavish'd away their -Beef, Pudding, and _October_, most unmercifully, and made several -_Jointed-Babies_ to shew for Sights, and please the Tenants Sons about -_Christmas_. - -Old _Drybones_ was then the Parson of the Parish, a Man of the most -notorious Character, who would change his Principles at any Time to -serve a Turn, preach or pray _Extempore_, talk Nonsense, or any Thing -else, for the Advancement of _Avaro_ and his Faction. He was look'd upon -to be the greatest Artist in _Legerdemain_ in that Country; and had a -Way of shewing the Pope and little Master in a Box, but the Figures were -so very small, it was impossible for any Body but himself to discern -them. He was hir'd, as is suppos'd, to tax the New Servants with Popery, -together with their Mistress, which he preach'd in several Churches -thereabouts; but his Character was too well known to make any Thing -credited that came from him. - -There are several Particulars related, both by Tradition and the -Manuscripts, concerning the turning out of these Servants, which -would require greater Volumes than I design. It is enough, that -notwithstanding their Endeavours, they were Discarded, and the Lady -chose her new Servants out of the most honest and substantial of her -Tenants, of undoubted Abilities, who were tied to her by Inclination as -well as Duty. These began a Reformation of all the Abuses committed by -_Avaro_ and _Baconface_, which discover'd such a Scene of Roguery to -the World, that one would hardly think the most mercenary Favourites -could be guilty of. - -_Avaro_ now began to be very uneasie, and to be affrighted at his own -Conscience; he found nothing would pacifie the enrag'd Tenants, and that -his Life wou'd be but a sufficient Recompence for his Crimes. His Money -which he rely'd on, and which he lavish'd away to Bribe off his -Destruction, had not Force enough to Protect him: He could not, as it is -reported, Sit still in one Place for two Minutes, never Slept at all, -Eat little or nothing, Talk'd very rambling and inconsistent, of -_Merit_, _Hardships_, _Accounts_, _Perquisites_, _Commissioners_, -_Bread_ and _Bread-Waggons_, but was never heard to mention any -_Cheese_. - -He came and made a Confession in his own House to some People he never -saw before in his Life, and which shews no little Disorder in his Brain; -_That, whatever they might think of him, he was as Dutiful a Servant as -any his Mistress had_. _Haggite_ rav'd almost as bad as he, and had got -St. _Anthony's Fire_ in her Face; but it is a question, says Dr. -_G--th_, whether there was any Thing Ominous in that, since it is -probable, the Distemper only chang'd it's Situation. - -Mean while, it was agreed by _Baconface_ and others, that a Consultation -should be call'd at _Avaro_'s House, something Decisive resolv'd on, in -order to prevent their Ruin; and accordingly _Jacobo_ the Messenger was -sent to inform the Cabal of it. - -Dismal and horrid was the Night of that infernal Consultation, nothing -heard but the melancholly Murmuring of Winds, and the Croaking of Toads -and Ravens; Every thing seem'd Wild and Desert, and double Darkness -overspread the Hemisphere: Thunder and Lightning, Storms and Tempest, -and Earthquakes, seem'd to Presage something more then Ordinary, and -added to the Confusion of that Memorable Night. Nature sicken'd, and -groan'd, as it were, under the Tortures of universal Ruine. Not a -Servant in the House but had Dreamt the strangest Dreams, and _Haggite_ -her self had seen a Stranger in the Candle. The Fire languish'd and -burnt Blue, and the Crickets sung continually about the Oven: How far -the Story is true concerning the Warming-Pan and Dishes, I cannot say, -but certain it is, a Noise was heard like that of rolling Pease from the -top of the House to the bottom; and the Windows creak'd, and the Doors -rattled in a manner not a little terrible. Several of their Servants -made Affidavit, That _Haggite_ lost a red Petticoat, a Ruff, and a Pair -of Green-Stockings, that were her Mother's, but the Night before, and a -Diamond-Cross once gave her by a _Great Man_. - -'Twas about Midnight before this Black Society got together, and no -sooner were they seated, when _Avaro_ open'd to them in this manner. We -have try'd, _says he_, my Friends, all the Artifices we cou'd invent or -execute, but all in vain. Our Mistress has discover'd plainly our -Intentions, and the Tenants will be neither flatter'd, nor frighted, nor -brib'd into our Interest. It remains therefore, and what tho' we Perish -in the Attempt, we must Perish otherwise, that once for all we make a -Push at the very Life of----When, Lo! _says the Manuscript_, An unusual -Noise interrupted his Discourse, and _Jacobo_ cry'd out, _The Devil, the -Devil at the Door_. Scarce had he Time to speak, or they to listen, when -the Apparition of Mother _Haggy_ entred; But, Who can describe the -Astonishment they were then in? _Haggite_ sounded away in the -Elbow-Chair as she sat, and _Avaro_, notwithstanding his boasted -Courage, slunk under the Table in an Instant: _Baconface_ screw'd -himself into a thousand Postures; and _Clumzy_ trembled till his very -Water trickled from him. _Splitcause_ tumbled over a Joint-Stool, and -_Mouse_ the Ballad-Maker broke a Brandy-Bottle that had been _Haggite_'s -Companion for some Years: But _Dammyblood, Dammyblood_ only was the Man -that had the Courage to cry out G-d D-m your Bl--d, What occasion -for all this Bustle? Is it not the Devil, and is he not our old -Acquaintance? This reviv'd them in some Measure; but the Ghastlyness of -the Spectacle made still some Impression on them. There was an -unaccountable Irregularity in her Dress, a Wanness in her Complexion, -and a Disproportion in her Features. Flames of Fire issued from her -Nostrils, and a sulphurous Smoak from her Mouth, which together with the -Condition some of the Company were in, made a very noisome and offensive -Smell; and _I have been told_, says a very Grave Alderman of _St. -Albans, Some of them saw her Cloven Foot_. - -I Come, _says she_, at length, (in an hollow Voice, more terrible than -the celebrated Stentor, or the brawny _Caledonian_) I Come, O ye -Accomplices in Iniquity, to tell you of your Crimes, to bid you desist -from these Cabals, for they are Fruitless, and prepare for Punishment -that is Certain. I have, as long as I could, assisted you in your -Glorious Execrable Attempts, but Time is now no more; the Time is coming -when you must be deliver'd up to Justice. As to you, O Son and Daughter, -_said she_, turning to them, 'tis but a few revolving Moons, e'er you -must both fall a Sacrifice to your Avarice and Ambition, as I have told -you heretofore, but your Mistress will be too Merciful, and tho' your -ready Money must be refunded, your Estate in Land will Descend onto your -Heirs. But you, O _Baconface_, you have Merited nothing to save either -your Life or your Estate, be contented therefore with the Loss of both: -And _Clumzy, says she_, you must have the same Fate, your Insolence to -your Lady, and the Beggars you brought in upon the Tenants will require -it. _Dammyblood, continues she_, turning towards him, you must expect a -considerable Fine; but _Splitcause_ and _Mouse_ may come off more -easily. She said, gave a Shriek; and disappear'd; and the Cabal -dispers'd with the utmost Consternation. - - -_FINIS._ - - - - - A - CATALOGUE - OF THE CAPITAL AND WELL-KNOWN - LIBRARY of BOOKS, - OF - THE LATE CELEBRATED - Dr. ARBUTHNOT, - DECEASED; - - Which will be Sold by AUCTION, - By Mess.
