Notes An advertisement in the Daily Advertiser from Jan. 13, 1744 notes that this title was "Printed for Eliza Haywood, at the Sign of Fame, in the Great Piazza, Covent-Garden. Where may be had, 1. The Chinese Orphan. A Tragedy, after the Chinese Manner. Price 1s. 6d. 2. A Voyage to Lethe. By Capt. Samuel Cock. Price 1s. 6d. 3. Europe's Catechism. Price 6d. 4. Sir Robert vindicated. Price 6d." Though the language in this advertisement ("printed for") typically indicates the publisher of a title, the boundary between "publisher" and "bookseller" were complex and shifting until the late eighteenth century. Additional context around Haywood's work as a firm suggests that she sold this title at her shop, rather than publishing it; herein, she is listed as a bookseller on this title.
See p. 5 of Gale Document number Z2000149182 for aforementioned advertisement.
