| General note | Printed 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 note | The 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. |
