Notes "J. Hoey" in imprint could refer to either J. Hoey, Senior or J. Hoey, Junior, as they were both operating as "J. Hoey" from the same address in Skinner Row in 1761. Have attributed to Hoey Senior as an earlier edition of Douglas included Hoey in the imprint and it was prior to Hoey Junior's active years, but this attribution may be incorrect.
