Three states noted. One state has a preliminary gathering of two leaves, containing a relief portrait of Dilworth and an illustrated alphabet, and title page verso is blank. Another state lacks the preliminary gathering (copy imperfect?), and upper and lower case Roman and italic alphabets appear on verso of title page. A third state, also without the preliminary gathering, includes the portrait of Dilworth on the recto of leaf [A]1; the title page appears on [A]1 verso, and the first page of Part I differs.
