Notes
Only known copy at the Library Company of Philadelphia came from the Michael Zinman Collection of Early American Imprints; Zinman assigned a production location of Norfolk based on the imprint's text [entirety of title above]; but no press was operating in the war-ravaged port town then. Hence both location and press are uncertain; it could be a Maryland imprint (Baltimore or Annapolis) as easily as being a Virginia one (Richmond or Alexandria).
