Until a full transcription of the 1723 edition is completed, researchers are directed to the text of the 1734 edition, transcribed by Paul Royster, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, February 14, 2006. The text of the 1723 edition was reset and published in Philadelphia by M.W. Bro. Benjamin Franklin in 1734. It omitted only the musical scores for some of the songs, the engraved frontispiece and coat of arms of the Duke of Montagu, and the Hebrew type occurring in the note to page 15. A number of additions were also made, such as, on page 90, a new verse numbered VI was inserted in the Enter'd 'Prentices Song, found on page 84 of the 1723 edtion.
