Printer's name from Wing CD

"A table of area's of circles in ale gallons", "A table of one thirds of area's of circles in wine gallons:", "A table of excise,", "A table of the content of cylinders in ale gallons", and "A table of area's of segments of a circle," each has a divisional title on leaves B8r, C1r, C4r, C6r, C10r respectively

"A short synopsis or index of the laws of excise" has a separate dated title page, printed twice in two different settings, on C12 and D11, with slightly variant imprints. The text of p. 59 is printed twice: as C11, with "FINIS" at foot, and as D1 with signature "D" and catchword "Some" at foot; apparently the C12 title page was printed with the understanding that the synopis would follow p. 59, but instead a series of examples was intended - whether this resulted from a change of plan or an error is unclear

"The description and use of the gauging-rule." has a divisional title page on leaf D4r

With a final advertisement leaf
