Footnotes

The second scarce work by Elizabeth Price, complete with the frontispiece. The date of the first edition is uncertain (Maclean erroneously dates it to around 1760, but the publisher Hogg was only active from 1770). A second edition was printed by S. Couchman for Hogg in about 1780, also with 94 pages, and this was followed by the present expanded edition of 172 pages, printed in about 1785. Of the five copies of any edition listed in auction records, only two were complete with the frontispiece.
