1716WRCLIT65972London: Printed for John Baker at the Black Boy in Pater-Noster Row 1716. 4351pp. Octavo. Extracted from pamphlet volume untrimmed. Somewhat dusty and lightly foxed upper blank fore-margin of half-title torn away otherwise a good copy. First edition. ESTC locates a single edition but with the date inferential 1716. The present copy is explicitly dated. The occasional attribution to Ayliffe is noted by ESTC but is problematic as the issues herein pertain to charges of disturbing the peace and political rowdiness while at a tavern rather than to the issues that preoccupied Ayliffe at the time. ESTC locates 9 copies in North America. ESTC N24401. Printed for John Baker, at the Black Boy in Pater-Noster Row unknown books
