The publisher Charles Cooke died in 1816; his catalog was then sold by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones. The absence of "by assignment from the executor of the late C. Cooke" on the title page indicates that this was printed but not yet sold when Cooke died and subsequently offered by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones with their catalog added.
