_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."
