Additional description
Misbound in this copy is the leaf ¹H, carrying the epilogue to The seege of Urbin. It should follow ¹G4. According to Madan, the second signature * (poems praising the author of The seege; The author to the reader; The actors names of The seege of Urbin; Prologue [to The seege]) immediately follows the first, the special title to The seege (¹A) being placed after ²*4 and not, as in the Brotherton copy, after ¹*4. With bookplate of George John earl De la Warr
