Bibliographic details:

Octavo in fours. There are two variant editions of volume 3; this one does not have a comma after "Hospital" in the title. The Foundling Hospital for Wit is often bound into collected editions, each made up of different issues of each of the six volumes. It is unlikely they were ever sold like this - the issues are advertised separately in the periodical press of the time. For examples of such collected volumes, see Bodleian shelfmarks Douce W 170; (Vet.) 2808 e.25; Johnson e.212. ECCO facsimile does not correspond with this record, because it is taken from BL 1487, which is misbound (quires D-I are from part 4; part 4 of this BL volume contains the sheets that should be in part 3).

Comments:

Miscellany Contents: prose pp.58-62. query: check ECCO ref - doesn't seem to match this record.
