Originally published: "A Whitehall, 1688."
The place of publication is false. "Pierre Marteau (French for Peter Hammer), was the imprint of a supposed publishing house. Allegedly located in Cologne from the 17th century onward, contemporaries were well aware that such a publishing house never actually existed. Instead, the imprint was a fiction under which publishers and printers - in the Netherlands, France and Germany - evaded the open identification with books they published."--Wikipedia.
