Publication date range suggested by Wing; presumably based on the identification of the bookseller as the Thomas Passinger who was active in London 1664-1688; it is also possible that the imprint refers to Thomas Passinger's nephew and heir, Thomas Passinger [sic] the second, who was on London Bridge from 1692-1695. See Plomer, Dictionary, 1668-1725.
In two parts; with "The Second Part. To the same Tune" at head of sheet at right.
Printed in 4 columns separated by type ornament rules; with two large woodcuts at head columns, one (at left) showing a naval battle, and the other (at right) a couple seated and embracing on a bed.
