ESTC S119082; STC 24548a. Quires 3B and 3M appeared in two settings: 3B1r catchword is (1) "sa" as in this copy, or (2) "evagari"; 3M1r line 1 begins (1) "ranarum" as in this copy, or (2) "ranar?". Leaf 6R4 is cancelled. Includes an undated letter from Dr Richard Luckett, Pepys Librarian & Keeper of the Old Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge, to John Lawson discussing the signature 'Pepys' to the tiltle page. The view taken was that the signature was unfortunately not characteristic of the diarist & and naval administrator Samuel Pepys (1633–1703) and that the shelf marks had no Pepysian significance. In his view and that of the Assistant Librarian Robert Latham the binding was also not 'remotely like anything he had done'.
