500			_aDivided into two parts, the 1st of which is not so numbered and the 2nd of which has only caption title: Memoirs, &c., part II.
500			_aThe publisher may be bookseller Edmund Curll, with whose 1730 ed. of Mr. Congreve's last will and testament this work is often found bound, as here.
500			_aThe last 2 leaves are an index to the work and to a different ed. of Congreve's will and testament, giving further grounds for believing that Curll is the publisher and that he issued the two works together.
