present members of St.John s College,Cambridge, twenty one of whom (14.3%) including six Fellows, subscribedto Lindsay s book, while thirty two (31.7%) including nineteen Fellows,supported Bedford s volume.In the latter case, this high proportion wasno doubt explained by the traditional association of that College withthe North East.A similar regional association probably accounts for thepresence in Lindsay s list of eighteen former members (twelve clergyand six laymen) of Brasenose College, Oxford, which traditionally recruitedfrom South Lancashire and Cheshire.It is also noticeable that Lindsaysecured three subscribers from St.Mary Hall, Oxford, a small community,well-known for its Jacobite sympathies: the Principal, William King(1685 1763), the late Vice-Principal, Thomas Bromwich (d.1724) and JohnLeake (1682 1745).7 Seventeen noblemen and women, and eleven past,current or future Members of Parliament appeared on Lindsay s list, whileBedford s subscribers included seven noblemen and eleven current, formeror future MPs.Lindsay s subscribers, interestingly, included thirty eightwomen (8.9% of the total), but there were no women on Bedford s list.For his publisher, Bedford selected James Bettenham of St.John s Lane,London.Bettenham was a Nonjuring layman, identified as such in Negus sanalysis8 of the affiliations of London publishers in 1724, and son-in-lawto William Bowyer the elder, the senior Nonjuring member of the booktrade.Bettenham s output had a marked Jacobite emphasis and includedworks by Thomas Carte and the Nonjuring bishop, Thomas Brett.In 1718he had published A Hymn to the Holy and Undivided Trinity, ostensibly com-posed by James Shepheard, a young Jacobite apprentice who had beenexecuted at Tyburn in March of that year.9 Lindsay, by contrast, engagednot one publisher, but a conger of seven: James Crokat, Fletcher Gyles,Robert Gosling, John Hooke, George Strahan, Richard Wilkin and RichardWilliamson, most of whom were also noted for High Church and Torysympathies.10 Williamson, of Gray s Inn Gate, Holborn, had taken over thebusiness of Richard Sare, an intimate of the elder Bowyer, on the former sdeath in 1724 and in 1730 he published an edition of the Greek Devotionsof bishop Lancelot Andrewes, translated by George Stanhope, the Dean ofCanterbury and a High Churchman, who had preached the sermon atSare s funeral.Crokat s first recorded production, in 1726, had been TheClergy s Right of Maintenance, by William Webster, a prominent HighChurch propagandist.Wilkin, of the King s Head in St.Paul s Church Yard,was noted as
