Attributed by Halkett and Laing to Sir Joseph Ayloffe and by the British Museum to John Strachey.
Titlepage is a cancel, with horizontal chain-lines.
"Dictionary of Booksellers and Printers", 1726-1775, lists Peter Uriel as flourishing in 1775.
Apparently this issue is a reissue with a cancelled titlepage of the 1739 edition described in the British Museum catalogue; William Petyt's "Jus Parliamentarium" described in "Books printed for G. Hawkins" as "now in press" was published in 1739.
Includes one advertisement leaf and an errata page.
