A very early Newbery imprint. John Newbery began his great publishing firm in 
Reading in 1740. He moved to London by early 1744. Our anonymous work 
appeared with both London and Reading imprints (two different issues), it is 
certainly one of the last Newbery books to have a Reading imprint. Roscoe A157(2).
