Notes A new edition, embellished with engravings;
Having an alternate engraved title page reading "Friendship in death, in twenty letters from the dead to the living. To which are added letters moral & Entertaining, in prose & verse. By Mrs. Elizabeth Rowe. To which are also added devout exercises of the heart and memoirs of the author." and an engraving of Mrs. Rowe before that;
Pagination is continuous throughout;
Pages 23-30 [xxii-xxx] (the contents) were meant to be printed at the end of the work and then properly placed when bound but they were misprinted before the "life of Mrs. Rowe";
Very similar to WPHP 13488 except contents come before the "Life of Mrs. Rowe" and the engraving of Mrs. Rowe immediately precedes the alternate title page which immediately precedes the title page. It seems that this edition was a misprint.;
