(ESTC N5358 & T144382). 2nd title continues brought by Dr. Stukeley, in his Origines Roystonianæ, no. 2. against An answer to, or remarks upon, his Origines Roystonianæ, no. 1. Wherein the said answer is maintained ; Royston proved to be an old Saxon Town, its Derivation and Original ; and the History of Lady Roisia shewn to be a meer Fable and Figment. In the 1740s Parkin engaged in a vituperative dispute with Stukeley over the antiquity and imagery of the carvings on the walls of the recently discovered cave at Royston. He attacked Stukeley's claim that the chamber had been the private oratory of one "Lady Roisia" in a pamphlet entitled An Answer to, or Remarks upon, Dr. Stukeley's "Origines Roystonianæ". When Stukeley published a reply, Parkin responded with A Reply to the Peevish, Weak, and Malevolent Objections brought by Dr. Stukeley in his Origines Roystonianæ, No.2. Joseph Beldam, a later historian of the cave, wrote that "though both parties showed abundant learning and ingenuity, the cause of truth suffered much from their mutual loss of temper.
