General notePrinted by William Bowyer (40 sheets) and Henry Parker (4 sheets); see K.I.D. Maslen, 'Three eighteenth-century reprints of the castrated sheets in Holinshed's Chronicles', The Library V, 13 (1958), 120-24 (reprinted in Maslen, 'An early London printing house at work', New York, 1993, pp. 27-32).
General noteThe 1722 date originally printed was apparently an error, as proposals to print this edition did not appear until February 1723, and copies were not delivered until late June 1723; Bowyer's records show the titles as being reprinted separately.
