The third is also rare with 2 copies in the UK (National Library of Scotland and Senate House) and copies at Columbia and Harvard in America.

The court found for the defendants. In the fourth the defendant was charged with murdering his sixty-year old widowed mother-in-law by giving her arsenic mixed in some cocoa, as a result of which she died a day or so later. The trial relied on not only the evidence of a post-mortem autopsy but also much on the circumstantial evidence of the tea-room itself and the other family members then present. The plate is a diagrammatic representation of the tea-room showing the seating location of each participant and the "circuitous route with the bread and butter". Robert Donnall was eventually acquitted.

The flight had been organised by the enthusiastic "patron of aerostation", the Norwich alderman, Colonel John Harvey. The balloon belonged to the celebrated Margaret Graham ("Mrs. Graham the only English Female Aeronaut") and her husband. In the event, on this occasion the balloon ascended with Colonel John Harvey and Mrs Graham as passengers, Mrs Graham having taken the place of her husband in order to reduce the weight. Ascending from Richmond Hill, Norwich, the balloon travelled only 6½ miles in a 19-minute flight.Very rare, not in British Library. Library Hub records only one copy (National Aerospace Library); WorldCat adds a copy at the University of Minnesota.

The second item is rare; ESTC and Library Hub list a handful of copies of the second edition of the same year but none of this fourth edition. It appears to be a reprint of the second edition with a cancel title. The book was reprinted in Boston, New England in 1733. The third was first published in 1795 and this is one of several printings but this edition is not listed by ESTC, it is seemingly a reprint of the third edition with a cancel title.
