Folger-specific note
In Folger copy 5, the watermark of [superscript pi]A2 redounds that of [superscript pi]A5, so [superscript pi]A1-[superscript pi]A4, which exhibit a common defect in the upper outer corner, are, or [superscript pi]A5 is, supplied from another copy. Leaf [superscript pi]A6 is misbound after *4 and is probably supplied from another copy.
Port. (on title page) in state 3.
Supplied from another copy are: x4, the stub of which is visible and the watermark of which redounds that of x3; y2, the stub of which is visible between y5,6; and 2b4, tipped in. Perhaps supplied from another copy are 3c2.5, similarly discolored.
Imperfections affect text very slightly on P2, 2e6, and 2t5.
Old shelfmark "C No. 53" written on the front pastedown recto (masked by a bookplate). manuscript inscriptions (obliterated) on [superscript pi]A1 recto and on [superscript pi]A2 recto (title page). The "Catalogue" of contents (*4 verso) is annotated (18th-cent.) with page numbers.
Bookplate of George Bythesea (inside the front cover, masking a remaining fragment of another bookplate).
