      Note/s:
      • Edited, with variorum notes, by 'An Englishman'. Includes a preface and introduction by the editor, who has been identified as Sampson Low. As Low died in 1886 it is presumed the work was published prior to that date but not much earlier as the Preface refers to the nineteenth century drawing to an end. This comment led earlier efforts to date the work to suggest the 1890s.
