  • Notes: As usual, preface bears the manuscript inscription "Bound by Rob. McAlpine," suggesting a possibly unique colonial example of a signed edition binding. "Posterity regards these signed McAlpine bindings with a degree of interest out of all proportion to their negligible aesthetic value"--Wroth, Colonial Printer, 210. Evans 9756; Sabin 53719.
