Folio, pp. 8; some spotting, but otherwise a rather splendid copy, entirely uncut, and apparently never bound; the two bifolia held together by a pin. Probably a second edition (though not described as such on the title-page), with 'Distinction' (as opposed to 'distinction') in the last line on p. 4; the inner forme of sheet B appears to be the same setting in both printings. Guerinot pp. 224-6; Foxon V40.
