Bibliographic details:

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.

Comments:

MISCELLANY CONTENTS: pp.54-71 are prose.

Other matter:

Preface (pp.[i]-iv) identifies 'Samuel Silence' as the founder of the 'hospital' in it's Royal Charter. Which is to say that he is the editor/author figure of this collection (and subsequent numbers).
