Notes
In this edition, the second line of the imprint on the t.p. contains what appears to be a compositor's error, and has been inverted to read "London. Bow-Lane,".
Horizontal chain lines.
In line eight of the title in this copy, the letter "u" in "customs" has failed to print.
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.
