Notes Note that Hathi Trust lists the Imprint as: "London : printed for C Etherington, opposite All Saints Church, in the Pavement, York, 1768," which is actually another 1768 edition (the Imprint on the title page of this digitised edition is different). The final pages of this edition also appear to be missing from the digitisation.
