His books went through many editions in London, the North of England, and America. Several were published under pseudonyms such as "The Shaver" and "Pasquin Shaveblock". His major work, Infernal Conferences, or Dialogues of Devils, by the Listener, London, 1772, 2 vols. may have been suggested by The Dialogues of the Dead (London, 1760) of George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton." - See Wikipedia. *** Full title reads: "Infernal Conference; Or Dialogues Of Devils on the many vices which abound in the civil and religious world.
