Notes:

Verse in twenty stanzas; first line: This day take warning young and old.

Following imprint: Note, There being a foolish paper printed, called Julian's advice to children and servants, said to be published at his desire; this may certify, that the said paper is false and spurious, and disowned by the said Julian in the presence of three persons.

Dated [1775] by Evans. However, on the basis of the above note, which apparently refers to a contemporary broadside, Poor Julleyoun's warnings to children and servants (Bristol B903), an imprint date of 1733 seems more probable. Thomas Fleet (1685-1758) printed at the Heart and Crown in Cornhill from 1731 to 1758.

The Boston Public Library copy is conjugate with, as printed, the broadside The last speech and dying advice of poor Julian (Bristol B902, Shipton and Mooney 40021).

Text in two columns; woodcut (Reilly 1158), depicting the murder, at left of title.
