Note

Anonymous. By John Collier

Dated from internal evidence. The glossary definition "Fawse Lunnoners, the ingenious authors of the Monthly Review" suggests a date no earlier than Dec. 1750 when the Monthly Review reviewed a pirated edition of the work. Cf. Heywood, Thomas. On the South Lancashire dialect. p. 62 in Chetham Miscellanies. vol. 3. 1862. (Available on Google books); The absence of the glossary definition "Lunnon-Boggarts, the authors of the Monthly Review" which appears in editions from 1757 onwards, suggests a date no later than 1757
