Note

R.S. = Richard Smith

The bulk of the text describes Richard Smith's ten-volume edition of William Beveridge's Sermons (1708-1710). Eleventh and twelfth volumes were published in 1714. Also listed are the "fifth edition" (actually two editions, one "Printed in a neat Elzivir character, fit for the pocket" and the other "printed on [i.e. in?] a large letter") of Beveridge's "Private thoughts upon religion" (1710), of which a second part appeared in 1712 (and a sixth edition of part 1 in 1713), and his "Great necessity and advantage of publick prayer" (no edition stated). Thus, the catalogue was probably printed between 1710 and 1712. It may perhaps be one of the two catalogues listed as having been printed by William Bowyer the elder for Smith in May 1712 (600 copies of each), Bowyer having recently (in February 1712) printed an edition of Beveridge's "Private thoughts" for Smith (cf. Maslen, Keith, and Lancaster, John The Bowyer ledgers (1991), 135 and 137)
