[Publish'd according to Act of Parliament April 15th 1774.]
Rare mezzotint, 18th century watermark; Sheet 560 x 385mm (22 x 15¼"). Trimmed into image on three sides, into title at bottom, losing publication line, mounted in album paper at edges.
Martin Madan (1726-90), Methodist clergyman and barrister, with Charles Edward De Coetlogon (1746-1820, his assistant chaplain, apparently debating the Gospel of St John. Madan is best known for his collection of Methodist music, 'Psalms and Hymns extracted from various Authors' (1760) and 'Thelyphthora, or A Treatise on Female Ruin', in which he advocated polygamy as a means of ''removing or lessening the causes of seduction''. The latter caused some controversy: one angry responce was the 'Anti-Thelyphthora' by William Cowper, Madan's first cousin.
