Note

Anonymous. By William Fox

Earlier wrongly attributed to William Bell Crafton; Fox's authorship is firmly established

Price below imprint (first three words in square brackets: Price a halfpenny. Or twenty-five for 1s. and 3s. 9d per hundred

Following the price: 50,000 of this pamphlet having been printed in about 4 months, affords the most flattering hopes of the plan proposed being extensively adopted and producing very important effects: to further them, a trivial price is affixed, that those who approve the pamphlet may be more generally enabled to promote its circulation ... any person ordering 1000 may have an edition printed off with their name and residence, instead of the London booksellers

Another issue (or printing) omits Knott and Forster from the imprint.
