Quartich (General catalogue, v. 5, p. 2991-2992) says that John Farrer (or Ferrar) who is referred to in the preface, supplied Williams with the material for this work, and describes Ferrar's own copy of the 1st edition, with his marginalia and drawing of a map dated 1650. No map was issued with the 1st and 2d editions, but Ferrar's design was engraved in 1651 for the 3rd edition. cf. also Winsor, Nar. & crit. hist., 1885, v. 3, p. 168.
