- 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 & Mooney 40021).
