No. 607 was omitted without subsequent correction, to make the total number of original issues 635. In the original issues 635 was omitted and the last two were numbered 636. Reprints correct all errors, and a complete set is usually described as "no. 1-635." "Vol. 9th and last, no. 636-695" is a reprint of a different periodical, and has no connection with this publication., The numbers published in 1714 are called also v. 8, by reason of the fact that no. 1-555, 1711-1712 had been reprinted in 7 v., in duodecimo and in octavo, in 1712-1713. "Vol. 8" was first reprinted in 1715., and v. 1-8 (1-635); Mar. 1, 1710-Dec. 28, 1714.
