Uncontrolled note
P.145 misnumbered 45. The August issue dated 1742 in 1651/510 has an advertisement leaf for the May issue; this advertisement gives the imprint for the May issue as 'Printed for T. Osborne, and sold by T. Cooper. P.158 has "this spring, 1741", but Mary Cooper took over from her husband in 1743, so this is probably a reprint of the 1741 issue with reset imprint (date retained in error?). The advertisement leaf is also in the 1744 issues
