Footnote
Note: Collates: [12, including frontispiece and title], 338, [2], page 339, [3], 5-16, [8], 1-2, 10-11, 9-258, 369-391, [1]. However, this does not match the two variations of collations given by the ESTC: [12], 339, [1], 16, [8], 1-2, 10-11, 9-258, [2], 369-391, [1] / [12], 339, [1], 16, [8], 1-2, 10-11, 9-258, 369-391, [3]
This suggests that either two pages are lacking from the end of the book or missing from between pages 258 and 369, although text is continuous and there is no evidence of any pages having been removed.
