Note

Three copies are reported in the Mason Franklin collection at Yale University. One bears the imprint, reportedly added at a later date: Philadelphia: Printed and sold by B. Franklin, MDCCLVIII. Another is inscribed: Printed at Pennsylvania, 1773. Tentatively ascribed to the press of Hall and Sellers; if printed in 1773 this is the first edition of the work to bear the title The way to wealth.
