| General note | It seems that Kelly translated vol.1 only and Harrison relied thereafter on Tindal's translation and continuation; thus what began as a 2 vol. work, by vol.3 was considered to be a 4 vol. work and in fact became at least 5, which closes with the accession of George III. |
| General note | The continuation to 1786 may not have been published, although vol.5 ends with: 'End of vol.1 of Tindal's continuation. |
