Nevertheless, three genuine editions of 'The Hazard' were soon sold,..... later, Dunton offered 'The Hazard....., Further Argued, which included his essay on whoredom,' but not 'the Secret History of the Author's Failing, D----- at Confession', which he promised on the title-page." — Parks, Dunton and the English Book Trade.
