Folger-specific note
In Folger copy 1, [superscript pi]A1 is extended and remargined at tail; [superscript pi]A2 (title leaf) is patched at upper outer corner and slightly extended. Both [superscript pi]A1 and [superscript pi]A6 are watermarked, so presumably the repaired leaf [superscript pi]A1 is supplied from another copy. Leaf 3d3 is slightly extended and patched at tail, and 3d4 is remargined at tail and outer margin.
Port. (on title page) in state 3.
Imperfections slightly affect text on N2, P1, d6, t6, and 2v4, and very slightly affect text on I1, I6, L2, R2, X1, and 2r3.
The text passim bears many manuscript annotations in ink, dimmed by bleaching.
