Description

Cumulation of the monthly issues.


Vol. 1 was issued in six monthly parts: each has its own titlepage, dated 1726, but pagination and register are continuous. Vol. 2 Consists only of "Numb. VII. Being the first of this volume" and ends abruptly on p. 100, which bears the catchword "O". Apparently no further parts were published.


The titlepage to vol. 2 bears the imprint: printed by A. Campbell, for J. Cluer, and B. Creake; sold by them, and by G. Strachan, and A. Dodd.


Indexed in: Case 346 (1)-(2).
