Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy quarterbound in modern calfskin and marbled paper. Many leaves have been reattached with Japanese tissue and many are closely trimmed, resulting in losses to signatures and catchwords. Three early inscriptions are present on the title page, all in different hands. The first, a partially illegible inscription, ends in the date "Febry 3, 1787." The second reads, "See if Langbain assigns an author to this..." The final inscription -- an author attribution -- reads, "John Leyly."
