A similar copy traced in commerce on the Continent is with an identical typesetting but the text is not enclosed within an engraved frame and it was printed in a smaller folio format (28cm x 23.2cm). The armorial binder's stamp with the Royal Coat of Arms of George III is similar to Stamp 16, British Armorial Bindings, University of Toronoto Libraries, in design and size (74mm x 72mm) but only differing in the lack of a foliate scrolling apron below the motto on our copy. Three of four of the Library's digital sources for this binding are on works of a political nature as well.
