| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: 2nd 'Lane' edition, 1st issue. The title page states 10 plates present but 9 and 10 are on the same leaf. There are supposed to be 2 variant issues which can be distinguished by the spelling of 'liable' in title (the other variant being 'lable'), however not sure this is true as the NLS and RVC copies are supposed to be the variant as well, but actual have the correct spelling, and are identical with this copy. It is possible that this is just sloppy collating and that no variants exist. |
