The most famous work of Sarah Scott 1720-1795 'Millenium Hall' describes a female utopia free from male violence where property is held in common and a community of women conduct lives devoted to artistic pursuits and education Christian virtues and philanthropy. Through its focus on female equality education and friendship and with the Hall forming a model of mid-century reform ideas it provided a fictional embodiment of the ideals of the Blue Stockings Society of which Scott was a member and of which her sister Elizabeth Montagu was leader. A successful work in its time it went through four editions by 1778 and in recent years has undergone a resurgence of scholarly and public interest with a renewed focus on its early feminist meaning.

A very scarce eighteenth century pamphlet defending the healing properties of the water in Bath to one Dr Radcliffe of Tunbridge Wells. ESTC reference no: T62772.In this letter the anonymous author appeals to Radcliffe who is an 'enemy to our Bath-waters' as he vilifies them 'as good for little or nothing'. In the pamphlet the author addresses rumours that Radcliffe the physician to George of Denmark planned to poison the waters of Bath with a toad. This rumour has become a part of the legend of Beau Nash of Bath who was said to have calmed people's fears claiming he could neutralise the toad's poison with music which resulted in him raising money for an orchestra to play at the baths. The author tells Dr Radcliffe that he needs to stop speaking ill of the waters in Bath as it was once his favourite 'Tunbridg has been your Favourite formerly next Bath and then Tunbridg again; which argues you have much more fancy than judgement'.

A contemporary wrote an interesting note on the front cover: "Very strong ag't Littleton and very / Little against Pitt in general / Exposing the pretended Patriots." According to Walpole in 1747 "I was re-chosen in the new Parliament for Kellington in Cornwall. About the same time was published a Letter to the Tories written as I then believed by Mr. George Lyttelton who with his family had come over to Mr. Pelham. As Mr. Lyttelton had been a great enemy of and writer against my father as as Mr. Pelham had used my father and his friends extremely ill and neglected the Whigs to court the Tories I published an answer to that piece and called it a Letter to the Whigs. It was a careless performance and written in five days. At the end of the year I wrote two more Letters to the Whigs but did not publish them till April the next year when they went through three editions immediately. I had intended to suppress them but some attacks being made by the Grenvilles on Lord Chief Justice Willes an intimate friend of my father. . . I printed them and other pieces" "Short Notes on My Life". Size: 8vo. First Edition. Disbound. Very Good. Printed for M. Cooper, at the Globe in Pater-noster Row paperback
