London: Printed for the Booksellers of Europe, Asia, Africa and America, and sold at the Bible and Sun in St. Paul’s Church-Yard, 1765. Original Dutch floral patterned paper-covered boards. Contained in a modern folding cloth box. Very worn, with 16 pages in facsimile taken from another printing, the paging of which does not always match. Roscoe J346(6). This edition not traced by Roscoe. This title is thought to have been first published by John Newbery in 1756. Clearly the edition claims are not realistic.
