| Description | Reformed and corrected. Giving an account of her death, and of her journey to heaven; how on the road she fell in with Judas, who led her to the gate of hell, and what converse she had with the devil, who would not let her in: also, how at last she got to heaven, and the difficulties she encountered before she got admittance there. The whole being an allegorical dialogue, containing nothing but that which is recorded in scripture for our example. Paisley : Printed by J. Neilson, 1811. |

| Description | Over 3,000 chapbooks published in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Subjects include courtship, humour, occupations, fairs, apparitions, war, politics, crime, executions, Jacobites, transvestites, and freemasonry. Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
