Correspondences between John Bowles and a Mr. Adam expounding Bowles' fierce disapproval of the late Duke of Bedford (mainly for not displaying model Christian observance to Bowles' liking):
"I should have never have been disposed to publish one word respecting the late Duke of Bedford, if I had not felt that the unqualified eulogies which were passed upon him [by Fox and others] had a tendency to corrupt the public sentiment by holding forth as a perfect character a noble man who, whatever his excellencies might be, was known to be deficient in his attendance on public worship."
No copies currently on the market. Very few copies in institutions (British Library and University of London).
