| General note | "The smoaking age, or, The man in the mist ..." has a separate dated t.p.; pagination continuous. |
| General note | "A solemn joviall disputation" is sometimes attributed to Richard Brathwait, but is in fact his translation, with additions, of the pseudonymous "Disputatio inauguralis theoretico-practica jus potandi breviter adumbrans" by Blasius Multibibus (pseudonym). "The smoaking age" is apparently Brathwait's alone. |
| General note | The plates, signed by William Marshall, bear the titles "The lawes of drinking." and "The smoaking age or the life and death of tobacco." |
| General note | The imprint is fictitious; in fact printed in London by E. Griffin. Cf. STC. |
| General note | The "ph" in "Oenozphthopolis" is a Greek letter phi. The place name is probably a mistranscription of "Oenozytholpoli" in a Latin edition. |
| General note | Roman date in imprint contains apostrophic forms. |
| General note | Not in STC. A variant of 3585. |
