Format:

Octavo

Pagination:

86 mispaginated as 85 (repeat page no.); 192 mispaginated as 162; 197 mispaginated as 19.

Comments:

Query: whether this edition is in fact new or merely a new title page has been affixed, is unclear. While maintaining the same pagination as the first edition, the quality of the printing is severly degraded - multiple pages are mispaginated, and the text itself is less distinct. It may be that the same (worn) blocks were used to print this 'new' edition. Note: Vol. 1 contains only one item of verse of four lines or longer: a quotation from Sir John Davies' 'Of the soul of man and the immortalitie thereof' ('Therefore no heretics desire to spread...And other mens' assent their doubt assures') included as part of a footnote on p.283.

Other matter:

Prefatory matter: contents and advertisement for vol. 3 [2pp]
