WHITEBROOK says (p. 275) : " I suspect that
she attended the Tabernacle ministrations
at Moorfields"; and again: " The years of
her residence in London under this hypothesis
would have nearly coincided with those of
th'. absence of Mr. Benjamin Button in
America." But her memoir and bio-
grapher say she spent all these years at
Great Gransden. Even visits to London in
those days would be extremely difficult.
It was while in this quiet Huntingdonshire
village she did an immense amount of
literary work. It was amazing to all who
personally knew her that her eyes, which
were naturally weak, should hold out for so
many years at such constant writing!
I was pleased to see the excellent list of her works given by R. H. at p. 338. I have a similar list. It may be a useful contribu- tion to a bibliography. Many of her writings were published anonymously, and so there is difficulty sometimes in identifying them. The title of one, a second edition of R. H.'s No. 1, I subjoin :
A | NARRATION | of the | WONDERS of GRACE In Verse. | Divided into Six Parts .... To which is added, j A POEM on the Special Work of the Spirit in the | Hearts of the Elect. | as also, | Sixty One HYMNS composed on several Subjects, j with | an ALPHABETICAL TABLE. The Second Edition. Corrected by the Author, | with ad- ditions.
London :
Printed for the AUTHOR, and Sold by John Oswald, at the | Rose and Crown in the Poultry, near Stocks-market, 1734. | (Price Bound Is. 3d.).
This, it will be seen, was published anony- mously, but the Preface is signed A. D.
A new edition of the work was issued by J. A. Jones in 1833, with xxvii. pp. of Memoir.
Mr. Christopher Goulding, in his Preface to ' Letters on Spiritual Subjects sent to Relations and Friends by the late Mrs. Anne Dutton,' part i., ed. 1823, says, p. v : " I have been twice at Great Gransden in Huntingdonshire, where she lived thirty-four years," and had " information of Mrs. Tibbet, who was personally acquainted with Mrs. Dutton and followed her to her grave."

Of the many works mentioned by R. H. at the last reference, only ten are accessible in well-known libraries. The advertisements of Keith are not exact in their titles.
The library of the Strict Baptist Church at Princess Street, Southport, does not contain any of her works, in print or in MS., except the modern edition by James Knight. There is also a volume of manuscript copies
of letters to him appreciative of that edition^
The catalogue suggests that there was once
an odd volume of her miscellanies, but
diligent search fails to bring it to light.
