Wells, 1704; the Third and Last Part, Printed for Thomas Horne, at the South Entrance of the Royal Exchange, MDCCIV.Early collected edition of all three parts.

The Author's Life', ascribed by Oldys to Sir James Astrey, APPEARS HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME (the writer professes to supplement and correct the notice given in Wood's 'Athenae Oxonienses'.)CBEL, II: 260; Greco's Catalogue of the Severance Collection (Chapel Hill), 18.
