Note

The only known copy, held by the Connecticut Historical Society, lacks the title leaf. Title and imprint from Evans. According to Welch, "The frontispiece and illustrations are entirely different from any I. Thomas edition. The book does not resemble any American or English edition so far located. The Evans Isaiah Thomas edition can be considered a ghost." The existence of a second Worcester edition (not known to Welch) and a third Worcester edition (Welch 678.5) would seem to contradict this assertion.

Caption title: Misfortunes of a week.
