Footnote
Note: No copy of this edition can be found on the English Short Title Catalogue, howevwer the Bodleian appears to have an earlier version under ESTC T301178. A complete copy of the work, held by the University of Toronto, can be viewed online through The Internet Archive. It would seem that blank leaves would have been included in the work to allow students of the flute to copy and compose their own pieces.
