"The Publishing Conger," as a group of associated or syndicated booksellers called themselves, was evidently formed only in 1719, but the practice of buying shares in a joint publishing venture was already popular. See John Nichols, Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century (1812-1816), I, 340.

Introduction to Colonel Jack, in Defoe, Romances and Narratives, ed. Aitken (1895), X, vii. Perhaps Aitken was misled by Sir Walter Scott and Walter Wilson. In Scott's edition of Colonel Jack (Edinburgh, 1810) the 1738 title is introduced in this way: "The title, as rendered by the author, runs thus" (The Novels of Daniel De Foe, VI, xii). In his Memoirs of the Life and Times of Daniel De Foe, Wilson also gave this late title addition as part of the original title of 1722 (1830), III, 494.
Defoe, Roxana, the Fortunate Mistress, ed. Jane Jack (1964), p. 1. Subsequent references, in the text, cite this edition.
