Notes	From imprints and newspaper advertisements, we know that Haywood ran a pamphlet shop at "the Sign of Fame, under the great Piazza in Covent-Garden” in the 1740s. Scholars like Kathryn King have suggested that she ceased work at this address in 1744 (based on an advertisement listing Haywood's house above the shop for rent), but the WPHP lists her end date at this location as 1746 based on imprints that link her work at this address from 1741 to 1746. This five year span likely does not encompass all of Haywood's work as a firm, but it is the only address that modern scholars have knowledge of.
