Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy quarterbound in 19th-century green morocco and papier tourniquet (as described by Wolfe in Marbled Papers). The BPL gift bookplate of Joshua Bates, dated Jan. 28, 1856, is present on the front pastedown and the embossed stamp of the Library is present on pi1, pi2, c3, and D2. A blank sheet with a laid-on engraving showing a knight on a horse surrounded by a decorative border that includes the date and title of the work is bound-in before pi1.

An early inscription on the engraved title page is faded to illegibility, as is a second early inscription on the verso of the typographic title page. A ca. early-17th century autograph, reading, "Will: Trigge[?]" is present on the verso of the final leaf (3E4).
