stationer_additional_notes: According to Greg, "This edition appears to have been printed to accompany the Oxford collection of Randolph's <i>Poems &c.</i>, with which it is often bound up, but of which it is neither an integral part nor an invariable companion, and the mention of a Cambridge bookseller in the imprint proves the intention of separate issue. Three years later the remaining stock was included as part of the London collection of Randolph's <i>Poems &c.</i>, 1643, being replaced when exhausted by a reprint dated 1646 [469d]" (<i>Bibliography</i>, 2:618).
