Note

Anonymous. By Laurence Sterne

Vol. III. press variants: line 16 p. 160 "woulda ciad" or "would a citadel"; line 3 p. 171 "me.'" or "me.""; line 20 p. 187 "aud" or "and". Of the eight possible combinations of the above, four are recorded: III-1a: woulda ciad / me.' / aud; III-1b: woulda ciad / me." / aud; III-1c: would a citadel / me.' / and; III-1d: would a citadel / me." / and. Vol. IV catchword on p. 19 "'Tis" or "There's" (Monkman)

A marbled leaf is inserted between sigs. L4-L5 in vol. 3, forming pp. 169-170

"Because the frontispiece is keyed to an incident in vol. IV, it is sometimes found with that volume; it is however conjugate with A8 of vol. III (Monkman)

There is a concealed second edition of vol. IV in 1761; this is easily distinguished by the correct spelling of "fancy" on p. 73; in the first edition it is mis-spelt "facy".
