See Maynard Lee Dagey's review of Enfield in THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF SPEECH, Volume 18, pages 123-129 (February 1932). The edition reviewed by Daggy carries the imprint: "London: Printed for J. Johnson, St. Paul's Churchyard; by whom the only genuine and complete Edition is published. (1744) 1799." In Daggy's reproduction of the short dedication (found on pages a 2 and v below) in this 1799 edition two lines appear below the name William Enfield, as follows: Warrington Academy October 1, 1774 This presumably would fix the date of the first edition.
