  Only recorded copy is held by the Virginia Historical Society as part of their collection of the papers of the Mutual Assurance Society Against Fire on Buildings; their catalogue reports the older group as author of this 1799 text despite the legal distinction between the two entities.
  As with most imprints issued by the Mutual Assurance Society Against Fire on Buildings, this title lacks printer credit, echoing the society's practice of employing unnamed job printers.
