No. 272 (6 Jan. 1711) was published by John Morphew who carried the series to no. 330 (19 May 1711) with the editorial assistance of William Harrison; these numbers were later advertised as reprinted, but no copies are known (cf.

BL cat.); her effort lasted for seven issues, no. 1-6 (13-30 Jan. 1711), and one final unnumbered issue: 6 Feb. 1711 (cf. McLeod).
