The number of issues bound in each collected volume may vary from copy to copy

Imprint may vary; some title pages read: "by J. Morphew"; individual issues also exist in several states, some lacking colophons

At foot of vol. II title page: Note, the bookbinder is desired to place the index after Tatler, no. 271. which ends the second volume in folio
