- Uncontrolled note
- The 1682 edition of "The rights and priviledges" has two issues differentiated by the publisher's name in the imprint, i.e. J. Johnson (Wing R1513) or R. Baldwin (Wing R1514). Presumably either issue could have been reissued with the 1689 preface (Wing R1515). However in the CSmH copy, the copy catalogued and microfilmed, it is Wing R1513 which is used. If a copy which uses R1514 is reported, it will be necessary to make an additional record
