Note

Edition statement from half-title

The titlepage is engraved

With a final advertisement leaf

In fact a reimpression of the first edition; no press figure on p. 52; p.9 catchword: sneer

On p. 84, in the middle of the page, "awkward" is correctly spelt

There is a piracy with the dots above the i's in "it is" on the titlepage placed slightly to the left of an imaginary line extending above the ascenders; and on p. 84: "aukward".

Uncontrolled note

Without the ht. this is indistinguishable from the first printing
