Copy-specific note
Imperfect: wanting title page, and all before leaf A3. The Cathedral Library card catalogue identifies this as the edition printed by Jacob Tonson and John Watts in 1722 (ESTC T132718). The ESTC record for this includes a final advertisement leaf, which is not in the copy in hand. ESTC T132371 (printed by Jacob and Richard Tonson and John Watts in 1741) gives similar pagination to the copy in hand, and also notes that the text on pages 306 and 307 have been transposed, which is also the case here.
