Published: 1726
Place of publication: London
Language: eng
Number of pages: 130
Notes: Unlike other eds. printed anonymously in 1726 and 1727 by Edmund Curll, this ed. may be pirated (like the copy cited in European Americana, which also has 130 p.). The European Americana copy, however, is described as a 12mo, whereas the National Library copy is an octavo. In addition, the NL copy is very poorly printed on coarse paper, unlike Curll's editions of the Memoirs.

May have been issued with a 3rd part, but probably without the frontis. port. and map that accompanied Curll's editions.

Pt. 2 has own t.p.: The memoirs and secret negotiations of John Ker, of Kersland Esq. : part II / published by his express direction. London : Printed in the year 1727.

Pt. 2 relates to the French possessions in America.

Each part has an index.
