Notes: In entry for this work under Matthew Tindal NUC gives note: 'Supposed to have been forged by Mr. Budgell', with a reference to the DNB which, to its entry for Matthew Tindal, adds:'for the forgery of his will, see under Budgell, Eustace and Tindal, Nicholas'. The DNB states, of Nicholas: 'In 1733, his uncle, Matthew Tindal died, and Nicholas believed himself to have been left his sole heir. A will, however, generally thought to have been forged, was produced by Eustace Budgell, which left practically allhis effects to Budgell. Tindal published in the same year 'A Copy of the Will of Matthew Tindal [etc]', but he failed to obtain restitution from Budgell'.

The DNB entry under Eustace Budgell, gives details of this affair, stating that 'Matthew Tindal, the deist, then over seventy, left Oxford in 1733, and took lodgings  with Mrs. Lucy Price, 'relict of Judge Price' [whose Will is also in this volume], who,with Budgell, constantly visited him.' As a result of 'suspicious circumstances' coming to light, Nicholas Tindal published this pamphlet, and is the author of the 'Account' mentioned on the title-page.
