Smith, Printer, 193 High Holborn, [1st July, 1826 (date of 'Advertisement' at end)].⁂ A rare little work. It is difficult to establish a sequence for the early editions with their different imprints. All carry an advertisement from the author stating that the particular printing is a reaction to high demand. The matter is further complicated by the fact that we find no edition before 1826 to help us to establish the first edition. No copy of this J. Smith imprint was found on WorldCat or Library Hub.
