I have not seen the book. Ascribed to Mrs. Haywood in the advertisements of her additional Works, 1727. The B.M. copy, catalogued under "Ariel," contains only a fragment of 24 pages. Miss M.P. Conant, The Oriental Tale in England in the Eighteenth Century , passim. The "key" is almost the sole contribution to Mrs. Haywood's bibliography in Bohn's Lowndes.

The trample of a thousand hoofs would make such a noise; if one of those old-time mighty herds of bison could have come back to earth again; or a stampede of an immense herd of long-horns might cause a similar vibration. But Frank Haywood knew that neither of these explanations could be the true one, even as he thus sat upright on his blanket to listen.

"I wouldn't soil my hands with you," said the aristocrat. "'Fraid," said "Smoky" concisely. "Youse city-ducks ain't got the I sand. I kin lick you with one-hand." "I don't wish to have any trouble with you," said Haywood. "I asked you a civil question; and you replied, like a like a a cad." "Wot's a cad?" asked "Smoky."

The custom of inserting letters in the course of the story was, as has already been indicated, a heritage from the times of Gomberville, La Calprenède, and the Scudérys when miscellaneous material of all sorts from poetry to prosy conversations was habitually used to diversify the narrative. Mrs. Haywood, however, employed the letter not to ornament but to intensify.

If before she had retailed secret histories of late amours singly, Mrs. Haywood dealt in them now by the wholesale, and any reader curious to know the identity of the personages hidden under such fictitious names as Romanus, Beaujune, Orainos, Davilla, Flirtillaria, or Saloida could obtain the information by consulting a convenient "key" affixed to each of the two volumes. In this respect, as in the general scheme of her work, Mrs. Haywood was following the model set by the celebrated Mrs. Manley in her "New Atalantis." She in turn had derived her method from the French romans

A second engraving by Vertue after Parmentier formed the frontispiece of Secret Histories, Novels, and Poems. E. Curll, Key to the Dunciad, 12. Some copies apparently read "peer" for "poet." See Elwin and Courthope's Pope, IV, 330, note pp.; and Sir Sidney Lee, article Haywood in the D.N.B. Elwin and Courthope's Pope, IV, 330, note ss. Elwin and Courthope's Pope, IV, 294.

"In this brief note," continued Colonel Haywood, "Uncle Felix simply says that he has become aware of the passage of time; and since his labors are not yet completed, and he does not wish to allow his friends to believe him dead, he has concluded to communicate with me, his nephew. And as he knew of no other way of doing so, he resorted to the artifice of the floating bottle."

Haywood attempted an even loftier flight into the empyrean of romance, with the result that "Philidore and Placentia: or, L 'Amour trop Delicat" is more conventional and stilted than any other work from her pen.

Moyer, Haywood and Debs on the other, as being equally undesirable citizens. It is as foolish to assert that this was designed to influence the trial of Moyer and Haywood as to assert that it was designed to influence the suits that have been brought against Mr. Harriman. I neither expressed nor indicated any opinion as to whether Messrs.

Haywood took part in the "Rival Father, or the Death of Achilles," written by her friend, the actor and playwright William Hatchett, and performed at the Haymarket. Three years later she joined with him to produce an adaptation of Fielding's "Tragedy of Tragedies, or the Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great" on the model of Gay's popular "Beggar's Opera."
