With the nineteenth century engraved armorial bookplate of John W Trist FSA FSI, and the binder's ticket of Cunningham & Son of Ashton under Lyne, on front paste-down. The same owner has augmented this copy by mounting numerous relevant cuttings on endpapers and preliminaries at front and rear.

Sandler (2305) records a still later edition.
