different paper in different type. Arms on verso of titlepage as
before. Preface. History. At the end, sig. () contains errata to
History of England in both volumes. This is followed by
Alphabetical Table. With the exception of the cancelled leaves in
vol. i. the present copy appears to be absolutely complete. In
different copies various publishers’ names appear on the titlepages
which are otherwise printed from one setting up of the type. The
book was entered in the Stationers’ Register to John Harison and
George Bishop, and a certain number of copies were printed for
each. But copies also occur bearing the names of Lucas Harison and
John Hunne. Copies are very frequently made up of the separate
parts printed for different stationers. The printer was no doubt
Bynneman.
