Notes BL copy manuscript note: "A selection made by that very prolific scribbler, Mrs. Letitia Pilkington, first issued in 1798..cuts are by Isaac Nicholson. John Harris...took over the copyright from the executors of Eliz. Newbery." Presumably the attribution to Letitia is erroneous, as she died in 1750.
