Note
There exist two editions of the 1729 Macbeth with the same imprint and virtually the same settings of type. This edition ('A') is characterized by the following readings: leaf A3r, line 4 "Battel's"; leaf A3v, line 16 "smiling"; and leaf E2r, line 1 "Donalbaine." Edition 'B' is a ca. 1733 pirated line-by-line reprint, cataloged separately, identified on those leaves by different readings: "Battle's"; "smilling"; and "Donalbane." Each edition also has a final leaf G6 of advertisements with different information on the versos as follows: the second entry for books sold by J. Darby, [etc.] in edition 'A' is Mauger's French Grammar; while in edition 'B', the second entry is Mrs. Behn's Novels.
Signatures: A-G⁶.
With a final leaf of advertisements for Tonson on G6r and for the remaining booksellers in the imprint on G6v.
