This is the 12mo in 6's, and is assumed to be the second of three issues published by Donaldson in 1771. The first issue, 8vo in 4's, differs from the second only in format; the two issues were presumably produced simultaneously by reimposition since the type is identical throughout. The third issue is identical to the second except that the general and all volume titles are new, with changed address (Folger card catalog)
Volume 1 with a general title page; all volumes with dated volume title pages
