what YOU can about Mother Shlpton'
and her so-called prophecies which at
tracted good deal of attention many
years ago?
Mother Shpton seems To be a
mythical person. The earliest eXtant
! reference To her Is In an anonymous
tract, published IN London in lG4l. ana
entitled The Prophecies of Mother
Shipton in the Reign of King Henry
VII, Foretelling the Death of Cardi-
nal Wolsey. the Lord Percy. and 9th
ers, as Also What Should Happen in
Ensuing Times This pamphlet bears
on the title page an alleged portrait
OF the prophecies. and had large
circulation, The original edition Is
rare. limitations of the work have
been numerous Meteorological pre-
dictions Of Mother Shipion also APP
peared. William Lilly. astrologer, In
"A Collection of Ancient and Modern
Prophecies" O64a) quoted eighteen
prophecies which had already been
identified with her name and shows
that sixteen had been duly fulfilled.
In 1861 Richard Head published what
purported 10 be a fun account of her
Life and Death" representing her as
q daughter Of the devil. and of hid
eous aspect. In the Strange and
Wonderful History Of Mother Shipton."
u-ondon, 1850 il is stated that she

penter of Shipton. and died al chiffon

1857 edition of Heads life of Mother

elling the invention of the steam en-
zine ana the electric telegraph, and
he end in the world in 1881. These |
verses attracted wide attention, hut |
