  This journal has a tragic history; its publication was begun by Thomas Burling, but his press was repossessed during the session, leading to his suicide on January 5th; two days later, the Senate appointed John Warrock as their new printer and instructed him to reduce the sheet size of the journal from folio to royal octavo; as a result, Burling is credited in the imprint on the misdated title page, while Warrock's name appears in a colophon at the end of the text.
