ye felt much Joy in Prayer ; What fay you now 1
Said fhe, 1 told you before, that thefe Feelings
W'ere all but falfe Conceptions of Joy. Said I, If you
have not Feeling now, it is little Matter; ye
will get Feeling, if God will, ere it be long. David

| 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. |
