6 parts in 1 vol.

The first number appeared in January 1732 [sic, recte 1731] and ran for six successive months before lack of subscribers led to its discontinuation' (ODNB). The dearth of subscibers is alluded to in a footnote to the Contents, Morgan promising to print their names when he has more of them, adding that 'to prevent needless Trouble, and Mistakes, it is desired, "That the Persons who have Orders to take in the Books, may also be ordered to pay the Bearer:" Which some Gentlemen have forgot to do.' In some copies a 2-page Postscript to Preface is found before the second Number. (ESTC T101295).…
