Notes The scandal is described in the ODNB: "In early 1761 Ford published "A Letter from Miss F-d, Addressed to a Person of Distinction", in which she attempted to clear her name of malicious rumour by making public her treatment by Jersey, who denied her accusations in his response, "A Letter to Miss F-d"... Her original letter sold 500 copies in five days and both letters gained wider distribution when they were summarized in the Gentleman's Magazine (January and February 1761)"

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
