"There was no folio sixth edition, just this quarto, which was printed from Samuel Johnson's own corrected copy of the fourth folio edition (1773), which he bequeathed to Sir Joshua Reynolds ... Though several printers were involved in the production of this sixth edition, Strahan's account shows that both the sixth (quarto) and the seventh (folio) were printed together. Moreover, the evidence of typesetting shows that the type set for the quarto was readjusted, but not reset, to make up the folio pages. Courtney & Smith, p. 57; Vancil, p. 123; Alston V, 186; Fleeman 55.4D/8.
