⁂ Rare; ESTC records only 2 copies in Great Britain (with no copy in the BL) and 5 copies in the USA. Acquisition inscription is of Thomas Kenyon (1668-1731), dated 'April 1689 in the second year of the reign of King William and Queen Mary', and gives the purchase price of 2 shillings. He was grand-father to Lloyd Kenyon, 1st Baron Kenyon (1732-1802). The letter which accompanies the volume, is from the New York book dealer Hans Peter Kraus, dated 1966, to the 5th Baron Kenyon. Kraus confirms that the collation of the Kenyon volume (here present), matches exactly with a copy which he himself is offering in his Catalogue 115.
