Signatures from DFo. DFONOTE edp in title there is no comma after "works" at the end of the seventh line; ³N4 is the blank; port. of Bacon after C2 is signed: W. Hollar fecit 1670 (there are two author ports, including the unsigned frontis. port: add notes for both?); there is a blank slip cancel covering the errata note starting "The reader ..." at the bottom of leaf ¹C2r; this errata note refers to letters on ⁵C3,4; when ⁵C3,4 were cancelled (see the above signatures), the errata note was covered by a blank slip; sep. 500 notes for the div. title page's ("The Life of the Right Honourable Francis Bacon ...", etc.) or does the Gibson note above settle this?
