stationer_additional_notes: Greg calls this collection "unusual." He writes, "It is possible that the printer intended two simultaneous issues, one containing the oath-day entertainment only [311a(*)], the other the election entertainment as well [312a]. It seems more likely, however, that when the copy for the latter [312a] was received the type of the four sheets of the earlier issue [311a(*)] was still standing, and that advantage was taken of the fact to print a further impression [311a(†)] ... and append new matter to it" (<i>Bibliography</i>, 1:455).
