- Notes:
- A satire on the liberal and sectarian theologians of the day. This second edition is an expanded version of the text published in 1822 (Shoemaker 11437).
- Attributed to Thomas Williams in Dexter's Yale graduates, v. 5, p. 423; this attribution is repeated by Cushing and Shoemaker. However, according to Sabin (entry 104382), Williams was the author of a reply to the present work ("An answer to the greatest falsehood ever told by a Providence lawyer, alias 'Demens Egomet' ..."). Sabin suggests that Dexter, who apparently had not seen the "Answer," was mistaken in identifying 'Demens Egomet' as Thomas Williams.
