561 # # $a The front pastedown carries an engraved armorial bookplate on which is lettered: `Markshall. Ph. Honywood.' Possibly the bookplate of General Sir Philip Honywood (c.1677–1752), of Markshall Estate, Coggeshall, Essex.
562 # # $a ESTC T98502 gives the pagination of this publication as: vi, [2], 90 p., [1] plate : port. ; 4°. However, the RA Library copy has two fewer pages, i.e.: [Frontispiece], vi, [2] 88 pages ; 4°. Further, the reimpression that is it bound in with the 1742 edition of `Don Quixote' (T59882) that has been digitised and is available via Eighteenth Century collections online also has 90 pages. The setting of type in the RA Library copy is the same as that on 90 pages edition, but the RA library copy has 43 or 44 lines of print per page compared to 41 or 42 per page in the 90 page version, which accounts for it being printed on 88 instead of 90 pages.
