Additional description
Lacks the blank G4 and the final sheet H (i.e. 1-3), containing Coryate's protest against two insults in a set of verses in the pirated Odcombian banquet. According to W.A. Jackson (Pforzheimer catalogue no.219n.), the omission of sheet H merely indicates an early issue, being added later to unsold copies. Many lower edges brittle or ragged through damp, occasionally affecting ruled border. Water-stained. Bookplates of Boies Penrose (Old East India House) and Boies Penrose II (armorial bookplate) pasted on flyleaf and front pastedown respectively
