Exmoor Sisters' Spinning Dialogue: Propriety and Decency

The 18th century witnessed a wealth of knowledge, exploration, and rapidly growing technology, with advances in the printing press enabling unprecedented record-keeping. In an effort to preserve the revolutionary spirit of the century, Gale has initiated a digitization project of epic proportions, making high-quality digital copies of invaluable 18th-century manuscripts available in print form for the first time. This has significantly improved accessibility for libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

The literary works of the 18th century, including those by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, have had a profound influence on Western literary study. These texts allow readers to experience the birth of the modern novel and explore the development of language through dictionaries and grammar discourses.

The bibliographic data provided in the original text was compiled from various identification fields, serving as an additional tool to ensure accurate edition identification. The work in question, attributed to Peter Lock, Andrew Brice, Benjamin Bowring, and William Hale, was edited by Andrew Brice and includes the 'Exmoor courtship' with a separate title page. It was printed and sold by Andrew and Sarah Brice in Exon (Exeter) in 1746, comprising 32 pages in quarto format.
