PML copy contains only Part II. The first signature has 10 leaves instead of 8, the 10th being an extra leaf with 2 lines of printing only.
Printer's device on each title page; verso of final leaf. Dolphin and anchor within border.
Quire A has nine leaves. The title page was printed and its verso left blank for the preface. Coming back to print the preface it was found to be too long for 1 page and therefore a second double sheet was printed without pagination or signature. The right half of the folded sheet had a note to the binder to cut it off.
Text in Greek type; introductions in Roman.
