An Answer to a Sermon has errata: the pagination in signature E is wrong. Observations with half-title. There is a bound in slip with an ink signature. Joanna Southcott 1750-1814 was a self-described religious prophetess and author. She believed herself to be the woman clothed in sun from Revelations and that she would give birth to Shiloh. She is best known today for a sealed box of writings that she left instructions to be opened in a time of dire need with 24 bishops present. When Southcott"s followers increased she devised a seal that she gave to her followers. Eventually it became a prerequisite that all those wishing to be sealed read two of her booklets Sound an Alarm in my Holy Mountain 1804 and A Caution and Instruction to the Sealed 1807 the second of which is included in this volume. Mary Bateman 17681809 obtained one of Southcott's seals in order to capitalise on the spirit of the age. She defrauded bullied and bribed a number of victims from York to Leeds before being convicted and hanged in 1809 for poisoning one of her clients with arsenic. Southcott eventually denounced not only Bateman but also the newspapers that malevolently deceived the public by insinuating that Southcott herself was somehow connected to fraud and murder in A True Picture of the World and a Looking Glass for All Men. Brothers Richard 17571824 was a self-styled prophet. In his Dissertation on the Fall of Eve 1802 he made it clear that he rejected Joanna Southcott"s claims. On Joanna Southcotte"s death George Turner claimed to be her successor. He claimed that Shiloh had been taken from Southcott's womb into Paradise until the appointed time. He was confine for a while in a Quaker asylum for the insane. He promised that Shiloh would appear in London on October 14 being born as a boy already six years old. When the date passed uneventfully the faithful took it as merely a divine test of their love. Turner's own "voice" ordered him to marry so that Shiloh might have a foster mother. Accordingly Turner chose a wife and a new date of April 10 1821 was pronounced for the birth of Shiloh. When nothing happened some followers were disillusioned; others followed rival leaders. In a calf binding. There is significant wear to the extremities including some significant bumping and rubbing with slight loss. The rear board is detached but present.
