In 1715, an Amsterdam reprint of this edition gave the editor's name as "John Chamberlayne" (d.1724).

On pages 64 and 65 are two forms from the projected "Universal, Philosophical Language" of Dr. Wilkins.

Rare Book copy: A manuscript note on front endpaper  presumably written by William R. Williams, New York 1868 (pastor of Amity Street Baptist Church, New York) whose  inscription appears at top corner of title-page, states that the "present  is an enlarged edition .. of the First Edition" which "had become  rare & high priced." A note in  the same hand suggests the editor was an Irish Catholic mercenary employed by the Duke of Savoy in the Waldensian massacres (page 52  - the "Waldensis" version is in fact Irish).

Rare Book copy: Early calligraphic  ownership signature of "Thomas Blyth MA."
