With a list of subscribers in vol. 1
Drop-head title on sig. a, vol. 1: 'The life of Sir Henry Spelman Kt.'
The recto facing p. 38 in vol. 1 is numbered 39-49; the pagination continues l-lxv
Vol. 2 bears the title 'Reliquiae Spelmannianae. The posthumous works of Sir Henry Spelman', printed for D. Brown, W. Mears etc., 1723
William Bowyer printed the life of Spelman in v. 1, and all of v. 2; his records show printing of a cancel leaf in v. 1, perhaps accounting for the variant title on a1r noted in records for the 1723 issue; the records show 750 ordinary and 50 large-paper copies printed.
- Uncontrolled note
- A reprint (at least in part) rather than a reissue of the 1723 ed., cf. press figures on v. 2., pp. 6, 10, 14 not in 1723 ed.?
