Thomas Jones and T. Wood are ficticious names. Thomas Jones recalls the actual
editor
Charles Jones
, while T. Wood is nowhere to be found in records of the London book trade. The
book is a straight copy of the late editions of the
Osborne
Hoyles, and clumsily plagiarizes the new material from
Jones.1
. See my blog
essay
“Hoyle in the Public Domain, Yet Pirates Persist”.
