London : W. Griffith, 1770Chicago: The Fountain Press, 1965This digital edition was prepared from a version produced for the University of Virginia e-text Center, which consulted a 1965 Fountain Press edition. We have corrected it against a copy of the first edition in Google Books. The eccentric pagination (where what would normally be page 1 appears as page 7) is in that original edition.
