Apparently first issued in this form, with caption title only, 51 p. and horizontal chain lines throughout.

Reissued in the same year with half-title and t.-p. added (with title "The probability of reaching the North Pole discussed"), and with additional material (p. [52]-90). Pages [52]-56 of the new material were imposed together with the original setting of p. 49-51 to form a new full quarto gathering H⁴; this gathering and all following it have vertical chain lines. That set of sheets (with t.-p. and 90 p.) was also issued in the same year with a supplement (2 ℓ., 93-112 p., including special t.-p.) and again in 1776 with a second supplement ([113]-155 p., including special t.-p.).

No. 1 in a volume of miscellaneous works.
