Notes. Jan: Title of certain 4th editions (e.g., Bodleian) as for GH but initial signature under n of no. Copies N-P a reissue, with new title (and conjugate to this, a new annual title), of original L-M 6th edition.

Feb: B a later issue of A with variant imprint.

Apr: B an earlier state of A with title verso contents entries for pages 168-176 misplaced between 157 and 158. N-P reissues with new titles, N,P of JK 5th edition stock, O of LM 4th edition. Judging by original imprint of 4th edition, this would appear to be the reprinting advertised Jan 1750 in the preface to the 1749 volume.

May: N-O apparently of a new setting; P new title only, otherwise a reissue of unlabelled I-K edition.

Notes. Aug: A-F in variant states, the earliest with page 362 misnumbered 359, catchword that page reading August, and without supplemental leaf following that page. L title as for I-K but initial signature under bl of blank.

Oct: A-E in several states, page 453 unsigned, signed 'Iii', or correctly 'Kkk'.

Nov: O-P a reissue, with new title, of K-M 4th edition.

Dec: A-E title verso in two states, note below contents first in 6 lines, later in 9 lines. F variant is, except for imprint, apparently of same setting as A-E.

1732 Notes

Jan: F variant is, except for imprint, of same setting as C-D. A second edition, not represented among typical sequences, is found in Yale copy (rare book room): title 2(b)9, initial signature under iv of forgiving. M 5th edition apparently a reissue of JL 4th; N partially reset, as noted in Table V.

Feb: F and N are two later settings of 1st edition, with '(Price 6d.)' in imprint, and variant signature positions as noted Table V.

Apr: CDF, though each with different title, appear to be of identical setting in text.

May: CD and F, with two different titles, are otherwise seemingly of an identical setting. Press figure *, page 754 of first edition, is missing in Copy I.

Mar: L edition a later setting, as noted Table V. N issue, Princeton copy, partly of mixed (or reset?) sheets.

Apr: L edition a later setting, as noted Table V. N possibly a reissue of 1st edition.

1732 Notes

June: 1st edition later issue (copy I) has imprint 10.

Aug: F variant has imprint date corrected to 1732 and, as noted Table V, is of different impression with signature on 2d text leaf. Of JL issue some copies (e.g. Yale, Franklin room) have been noted with variant imprint 10.
