Getty copy inscribed on t.p. to "Mr. Fox, from the author." Occasional MS corrections, presumably by the author. Inscribed inside front cover in another hand is a three-line apostrophe to "Gay Green" taken from Thompson's The seasons.  "1774" written at foot of t.p. Dealer cites a letter of 12 March 1774 from Armstrong to the Duke of Portland, in which he writes that he hopes to introduce his paint to the world "in April next," suggesting that 1774 is indeed the year of publication.
