Subsequent search has shown that there were 2 Dublin editions of 1738. One was a 2 volume edition (extant in several copies not listed in the British Union Catalog or the National Union Catalog) which circumstantial evidence indicates did not contain |"Old Hewson". Whether James Dick was correct that the song is in the other remains to be seen. Jeff Kallen checked the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, and they have no volumes of any edition.
