"[Gregory King] was consulted about the coronation ... and was the principal author of the ... volume containing descriptions and splendid engravings of that ceremony ... though he allowed Francis Sandford to affix his name to the title-page"--DNB.

A variant setting of b1r has line 20 with 'than' instead of 'man' and line 25 with 'the' instead of 'these'. L.C.Fol.98 has these errors corrected in manuscript and illustrations and factotum initials printed separately from the letterpress are not present but have been supplied by pasting in from another copy, suggesting this variant is an earlier setting than C.12.a.7.
