1699, pp. 84, and in another edition with the imprint, Glascow, 1700,
pp. 112. _A Defence of the Scots abdicating Darien_, pp. 50, has 1700

Antiquarian Society and John Carter Brown Library.

burned by the common hangman, and that an address should be presented
to the King seeking a proclamation to apprehend the author of the book
(_Commons Journals_, xiii, 123).
