Notes
Vertical chain lines.
In this Aldermary edition, the word "lovers" in the title appears correctly (see ESTC N008980 for variant edition, with "lovers" spelled "loverc"); woodcut on p. 4 shows a man in a cape standing in front of a bed occupied by a female figure.
Research by David Stoker suggests a general publication date range spanning from the 1770s to the 1780s for chapbooks bearing the "Aldermary Churchyard" and "Aldermary Churchyard, Bow Lane" imprints, with those bearing the street address "No. 4 Aldermary Churchyard" probably printed sometime after the mid 1770s.
