Numbering is either irregular, or restarts at "No. 1" after a certain number of issues.

Any relationship between this title and other similar titles, such as James Read's 'The Penny post: or Tradesman's select pacquet' of 1717, or 'The Penny London post or Morning advertiser' in the 1740s is unclear.
