  • First edition, first state. "Five printing houses were used to rush it into print and avoid piracy." (Christie's Auction House). The title page (shown here) says "Printed for Benj. Motte, at the Middle Temple-Gate in Fleet Street", so while all first editions (we believe) are "printed for Benj. Motte", other equivalent state first editions may be printed at places other than "Middle Temple-Gate in Fleet Street".
  • The first state, Teerink's "A" state, is identifiable from the following points: Part I, p. 35, line 5 has "Subsidies" correctly spelled; Part III, p. 74 is misnumbered "44;" Part III, G6 is a cancel, with "Part III" at foot; Part IV, p. 52, line 1 has the misprint "buth is" (corrected to "but his" in the second printing).
  • The full text and images of this edition are available at the HathiTrust Digital Library: Vol. I and Vol. II
  • Published in 2 volumes; title page of vol. 1 shown here.
  • Each part has its own page numbering.
  • Data from Heritage Book Shop, Beverly Hills, CA, and from WorldCat.
