Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy shelved under call no. G.4013.36 halfbound in vellum and marbled papers. The armorial bookplate of the Barton Library is present on the front pastedown. An early inscription on the title page reads, "Arth[ur] Newcomer." Anattribution of the title to Dryden is inscribed surrounding the vignette on the same page. Many page edges are trimmed closely, resulting in partial losses to signature registration and catchwords.
