Notes:

Preface signed: P.L. Signed on p. 368: Edouard Dorrington.

An English issue of the 1727 edition in the British Museum has the statement of responsibility "by P.L. Gent" and a dedication signed Peter Longueville in which the writer claims the authorship of the work. The preface to this issue is also signed P.L. and denounces the bookseller for having substituted Edward Dorrington's name for his own. See A. Esdaile, "Author and publisher in 1727: 'The English hermit'", The library (4th series), volume 2, pages 185-192.
