The plates for June and October 1805 (and perhaps others) were post-dated, for Parker died on 20 May 1805.
The plates were reprinted in A Series of One Hundred and Ninety-Six Engravings, (in the Line Manner,) by the First Artists in the Country, Illustrative of The History of England (London: R. Bowyer, 1812) <GEB>.
