Notes Moon describes this edition as "almost certainly an Irish piracy." Contains woodcuts copied from the third edition (1801), and signed T. Kelly (a wood engraver working in Dublin around 1800). BL Manuscript note in 1807 edition attributes the role of compiler to Letitia Pilkington, presumably in error, as she died in 1750.
