1750WRCLIT54321London: Printed for John Whiston 1750. 222pp. Octavo. Extracted from pamphlet volume and disbound. Title and verso of ad leaf rather darkened and smudged old creases; just a sound copy. One of several contemporary printings of this work for Whiston priority unknown; it was quickly reprinted for other booksellers and in Dublin and elsewhere and saw several reprints in later years. "After the earthquakes of 1750 Sherlock published a 'Pastoral Letter' of which 'ten thousand were sold in two days and fifty thousand have been subscribed for since the first two editions" - DNB quoting Walpole. Not unlike certain extremist religious eccentrics of our own times Sherlock did not miss the opportunity to interpret very natural if unfortunate occurrences as evidence of divine displeasure at such things as plays operas music dancing cock-fighting and prize-fighting during Lent and the common availability in the city's streets of novels "vile abominable Pictures of Lewdness" and "Books in the Instruction of the Unexperienced in all the Mysteries of Iniquity."
