A copy of the original edition was discovered in Lord Charlemont's collection by J. O. Halliwell-Phillips and reprinted by him in 1865 in a private edition of 25 copies, of which 15 were afterwards destroyed by him. The present reprint is from the copy of the original now in the Huth Library.
Concerning the identity of the author, the editor remarks that "of his origin and kindred nothing is known, and nothing can be said" (Preface, p. v) The ascription to him, of the Christian name of Richard (Dict. nat. biog.) seems unsustained.
