| Item Description: | Attributed to James Bent; compare BM. According to Halkett and Laing (v. 9, pages 32), the original work was by John Shirley with contributions by Pitts (id est John Tutchin) and probably by Titus Oates and John Dunton. Dunton (Life and errours of John Dunton, 1818, volume 1, pages 184-5) mentions that Mr. Shirley wrote Lord Jeffrey's Life; he adds also that Mr. Pitts was, in part, author of The bloody assizes. S. Parks (John Dunton and the English book trade, 1976, pages 40) states that most writers consider James Bent to be the pseudonym of John Dunton. Since Dunton has already attributed the authorship of The bloody assizes to Shirley and Pitts, it is most probable that James Bent (Dunton) and Titus Oates were only minor contributors to this work.
