Note

Preface signed: Mary Collyer.

Printers' names supplied by Evans. Advertisement, p. [130-131], is for books sold "in Union-Street, Boston, opposite to the Corn-Fields." Two booksellers, Philip Freeman and John Perkins, had Union Street addresses in 1762. Freeman's shop sat "next to the Cornfields", so presumably this is Perkins' advertisement.
