| General note | One of three "ninth editions"; their order of publication has not been determined, but 1733 is considered to be a suspicious date for all of them (Foxon) especially this one, in light of the fact that William Allen's 'The landlord's companion', which wasn't published until 1742, is among the items advertised on p.[32]. |
| General note | In this edition, there is a full stop after "week", and the following pages have these press figures: 7-5; 12-3; 23-4; [32]-. |
| General note | Reproduction of original from the Bodleian Library (Oxford). |
