| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: A1r blank, A1v engraved title, A2r title, A2v blank, A3r-v preface ('To the Reader'), A4r-A8r contents, A8v blank, 1-175 text, M8v blank. The typographical errors are as for ESTC R472746, and it is one of 2 issues in 1656. Leaf A1 seems at first sight to be absent from all editions of the book. However on closer inspection it seems the engraved title page facing the letterpress title is actually on A1v. The first edition was in 1655, with later ones in 1668, 1671, 1680, 1684 and an unrecorded one of 1703 appearing in Christie's auction of 1/9/08. |
