URBANA, ILLINOIS.

[a] Through the kindness of Professor J.M. Clapp I am provided with the
following evidence of the decline of Eliza Haywood's popularity. In
W. Bent's _General Catalogue of Books_ (1786) fourteen of her
productions are advertised, namely: _Works_, 4 vols; _Clementina;
Dalinda; Epistles for the Ladies; La Belle Assemblée; Female
Spectator; Fortunate Foundlings; Fruitless Enquiry; Jemmy and Jenny
Jessamy; Betsy Thoughtless; The Husband; Invisible Spy; Life's
Progress through the Passions; Virtuous Villager_. In 1791 only
four--_Clementina; Dalinda; Female Spectator; Jemmy and Jenny
Jessamy_--appeared in Bent's _London Catalogue_, and of these the
first two had fallen in value from 3/6 to 3 shillings.
