Notes ESTC notes that the author of this work is John Austin, who used the pseudonym William Birchley, although this work was published anonymously, and Susannah Hopton is the "person of quality."

We have listed George Hickes as a "publisher" in the contributor field since that is how he is named on the title page; he was not, however, a publisher in the traditional sense, and we suspect he played a role in the work's publication but was not the actual publisher in the way that Nicholson and J. and B. Sprint were.
