Pamphlets and books by the different writers are numbered in
chronological order, and pamphlets by other writers to which they gave
rise or which they answered, etc. , have been added in order of date. The
dates are those of George Thomason, and will enable the reader to find
them in the catalogue of the Thomason tracts.
