| Item Description: | Signatures: A-O⁴. Attributed to Sharpe by James Burmester, Catalogue 41, 1999. On title page 'Dedicated to the Reverend Mr. William Bisset Author of the Reformation Sermons; Intitled, Plain English, and More Plain English.'. This pamphlet takes the form of an amusing and scurrilous character book satirising the proposals Bisset made in his sermon 'Plain English'. The edition may be false: William Bisset published 'Plain English', a sermon for the reformation of manners, and 'More Plain English' in 1704. Sharpe published two different pamphlets 'Plain English Made Plainer', and this could be another of his works. Roman text, words requiring emphasis printed in black letter. Reproduction of original from Bodleian Library (Oxford). Electronic resource. |
