General Notes

Catchwords: A4v: ten- ; B4v: có- ; C4v: Toante. ; D4v: la ; E4v: yo.
Divider formed from type ornaments above Jornada Segunda (page 14) and Jornada Tercera (page 28).
Regarding mixed use of short and long s: Page 1 is all short s, and page 42 is all long s. The collation is A-E4 F1, so F1 contains pp. 41 and 42, and these were probably set four times to produce a quarto sheet, which was then cut into four leaves. Looking at all the other pages might clarify matters, but this item is unlikely to date from 1763 (although F1 might. It may be case of a bookseller having stored surplus sheets for years to use them for another edition later.) Ca. 1790? (E-mail communication from D.W. Cruickshank.)
