There is an account of the first edition of Joseph

 corded in the printer's bill. Fifteen hundred, it 

 appears, were first printed, and in three months a 

 second edition ordered of 2000. The " 700 pro-

The following have not much interest in them- 

 selves, but contain that sort of information about 

 obscure and anonymous works often sought for 

 through the pages of " N. & Q.", and not, I think, 

 to be met with in Watt, or Chalmers, or Nichols, 

 the only authorities I can at the moment even 

 hurriedly refer to. Not to occupy space need- 

 lessly, I shall only extract the name of the writer, 

 the title of the work, and when printed. Occa- 

 sionally the writer is known, but not known as 

 author of the particular work here mentioned.
