also have continuous paging, but with only a single title page dated 1773. The Appendix was printed as a "Vol. 5" of the 1st American edition of the
Commentaries, see Eller Title no. 80, P/L 11/6 above. Bell’s advertisement in Vol. 3 of the Commentaries refers to this Appendix as an American
edi-tion of An Interesting Appendix.... But no British edition of this collection as a whole was known by Eller to have been published. For a Dublin reprint
of the first four tracts under this title, see Eller Title no. 263a, P/L 34/51 below. Eller saw five bibliographically different issues of this
Appendix, and she concluded from these that portions of this Appendix were printed at various times, from three or more different settings of type. She
states that no complete issue of the Appendix, with horizontal chain-lines throughout, was seen. For the English editions of the tracts included in the
Appendix: see Eller Title no. 263, P/L 34/45 below, for Priestley’s Remarks; see Eller Title no. 242, P/L 30/53 above for Blackstone’s Answer; see Eller
Title no. 231, P/L 28/51 above, for The Case of the Late Election; and see Eller Title no. 254, P/L 22/10 above, for Furneaux’s Letters.)
