The Female Captive: a Narrative of Facts which happened in Barbary in the Year 1756. Written by Herself, 2 vols. 12mo. Lond., 1769.—Sir William Musgrave has written this note in the copy which is now in the library at the British Museum:
"This is a true story. The lady's maiden name was Marsh. She married Mr. Crisp, as related in the narrative. But he having failed in business went to India, where she remained with her father, then agent Victualler at Chatham, during which she wrote and published these little volumes. On her husband's success in India, she went thither to him.
"The book having, as it is said, been bought up by the lady's friends, is become very scarce."

"A whole length of him at St. James's, in a night-gown and black cap.
"A portrait of his queen in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford.
"Jane Shore at Eaton (sic).
