Reverend Jackson was evidently a minister in Winchester, Virginia at the time the book was published for his Preface is dated from that small town in the Blue Ridge mountains. OCLC attributes authorship to William Myers Jackson who died in 1855. This date corresponds to the death of a Reverend William Jackson who served as the minister at Norfolk, Virginia's prominent St. Paul's Church from 1849 to 1855 (upon his demise from yellow fever) but it would require further research to verify whether it is the same individual. Only a fair copy but apparently a rather uncommon book for OCLC cites only nine copies among member libraries.

(2), 142pp. Without half title. Disbound. ESTC T40316. Jackson, 1737-1795, originally secretary to the bigamous Duchess of Kingston, was involved in laying a false charge of sodomy against the actor Samuel Foote in 1775. He was a preacher, journalist, playwright and radical sympathiser, being involved in negotiations in France. As the trial went against him, at his sentencing he took poison, probably provided by his wife, and dropped dead in the dock. The treason charges, extending over 12 pages, accused Jackson of encouraging the King's enemies in France to invade Ireland.
