[607] A curious bibliographical question is connected with a later issue of the volume as bound up with several of the Gorges tracts, for the discussion of which see the Introduction to Mr. W. F. Poole’s valuable edition of Johnson’s book, Andover, 1867, pp. li-vi; with which cf. North American Review, January, 1868, pp. 323-328; and Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., June, 1881, pp. 432-35. [Geo. H. Moore printed some strictures on Poole’s edition in Historical Magazine, xiii. 87. Cf. Dexter’s Congregationalism; Carter-Brown Catalogue, ii. 771, 851; and other references in Memorial History of Boston, i. 463.—Ed.]
[608] It was republished in fragmentary parts in several volumes of the Massachusetts Historical Society’s Collections, second series.
[609] It is reprinted in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll., vol. ii., from a copy of the rare original in the Carter-Brown Library.
[610] Charles Lamb speaks of the book in his Elia under “A Quaker Meeting.”

It can best be followed in Mr. J. Smith’s Catalogue of Friends’ Books, and in his Anti-Quakeriana. Dr. Dexter’s Congregationalism, and the Brinley and Carter-Brown Catalogues will assist the student. The 1703 edition of Bishope’s New England Judged, abridged in some ways and enlarged in others, contains also John Whiting’s Truth and Innocencey Defended, which is an answer in part to portions of Cotton Mather’s Magnalia; cf. also the note in Memorial History of Boston, i. 187. There were a few of the prominent men at the time who dared to protest boldly against the unwise actions of the magistrates; and of such none were more prominent than James Cudworth, of Plymouth Colony, and Robert Pike, of Salisbury. The conduct of the latter has been commemorated in James S. Pike’s New Puritan, New York, 1879.—Ed.
