With a half-title
A reissue of the first edition with a partially reset title page
Published in response to Richard Steele's 'The Plebeian'; cf. also 'The Patrician', by 'One who is neither a knight, nor a member of the House of Commons', which is sometimes attributed to Robert, Viscount Molesworth
Although numbered, suggesting it was published serially, the presentation appears to ape that of 'The Plebeian' and also suggests that these were simply numbered tracts published in response to 'The Plebeian'.
