Edition statement from half-title

With three final pages of advertisement

Printed by William Bowyer; his records are confused: the original entry is in 1726, with a small number of copies delivered between 1727 and 1729(presumably the issue dated 1728, for Strahan, Williamson, and Mears; N36902), most copies delivered in 1730 (presumably this issue), and remaining copies reissued in 1738, for Samuel Birt and Thomas Trye (T145868).
