A cursory examination was made of other numbers of
GM
for 1738 and 1742. The running titles of various copies were checked
against the IEN copy to determine whether the upper right serif of the
T was lacking on the same pages as in the IEN copy. A
check
of 19 copies of the 1738 volume showed no significant difference in the
T's for the January-December numbers. The differences in
copies of the Supplement led to the discrimination of the two impressions
already discussed. A check of 23 copies of the 1742 volume showed no
significant difference in the T's for the April-September or
November-December numbers. (This check could not be used on the 1742
Supplement, for the T was not broken in any of the RTs.)
Besides the three editions of the January number, which have already been
discussed, the examination also indicated reprintings of the following other
numbers of GM, but no detailed investigation of them was
made.
The 23 copies of the 1742 numbers of GM that were
compared to the IEN copy are the following: TNG MoU IaU Mi MoSW
OCU OO OMC OCl OU WM MnHi I InI Da MoS KyU MiDU In InU KU

The OCl copy is not an original number, for on p. 89 there is a
cross-reference to the following (March) number of the magazine:
"
See Scheme V. p. 147,
with Observations upon
it
p. 149." OCU and ODa differ from IEN and OCl in the ornament across
the top of the first page of text, p. 59. OCU and ODa have an ornament
with a lion and unicorn in the center; IEN and OCl have an ornament with
a sun in the center.
