This work was issued anonymously. According to his own statement in the Preface The Author did not think it necessary to prefix his name to this little work; being well convinced, that its reception from the public, will depend on other circumstances; and being also of opinion, that should it meet with approbation, any name would then be unnecessary, and superfluous . His name is given as Joseph Flowerden on the authority of the Surgeon General’s Library Catalogue.
