Note

Formerly Wing M636. This Wing number was cancelled as part of Markham's 'The way to get wealth' 1683 (Wing M682). However, at least one copy of Wing M682 includes the 1675 edition rather than this 1683 edition

Sheet 3K in some copies has been wrongly perfected resulting in the following order of pages 65, 70-71, 68, 66[i.e. 69], 66-67, 72
