John Carter Brown Library copy bound in contemporary paper boards, but incorrectly, with the Huske text first and followed by the collective title page and the Butel-Dumont text. Also, the three leaves 2-4 are misbound, following the Huske title page rather than the collective title page, and the plate referring to p.96 of the Huske text is bound facing p.96 of the Butel-Dumont text. The title page date 1755 of the Huske text is a misprint for 1756.
