Second edition, with the misprint in the date on the title-page corrected, and the contents reset in smaller type in two leaves instead of three. Although the text is the same, line for line, as in the first edition, an examination of separate pages shows that the type has been not only reset, but with a different fount. Page 193 gives clear evidence of this fact. The brackets and ornaments in this edition are different from those in the other. There is no final blank leaf, X8.
