Notes:

Caption title.

At head of title: Philadelphia, 4th. month, 10th. 1811. (The following Vindication was published at the end of the edition of Mosheim's Ecclesiastical history, printed in Philadelphia in 1800. It is but just to remark, that, as far as regards the religious society called Quakers, the translation of A. Maclaine is very faulty ... This will be evident to all, if a literal translation of Mosheim shall be ever published.* Jonathan Evans. Samuel P. Griffits.)

Parentheses substituted for square brackets in transcription of explanatory letter at head of title.

"Signed by direction and in behalf of a meeting representing the religious society called Quakers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, &c. held in Philadelphia, the 22d. of the 11th. month, 1799. John Drinker, clerk."--p. 6.

"New Bedford, 12th. month 9, 1911. Samuel Etheridge, Jun'r. Respected Friend, We are authorized by the representative body of the Yearly Meeting of Friends for New England ... to request of thee, that in order to refute some of the gross misrepresentations of the Society of Friends, contained in Mosheim's Ecclesiastical history, now republishing by thyself, thou wilt be so obliging as to annex to that work some extracts which we now forward to thee ... Elisha Thornton [and four others]. ..."--p. [8]. Page [7] is blank.

A typographically identical copy of the Vindication, not including the letter from the New England Yearly Meeting, is found in vol. 6, p. [135]-140, of the edition of Mosheim's Ecclesiastical history published by Samuel Etheridge, Jr. at Charlestown, Mass., in 1810-1811.
