- Note
- It is unclear from the text whether the Mr. Holford mentioned in the imprint as a distributor of catalogues is John or Samuel Holford, apparently in partnership and working from the Crown in the Pall Mall. Mr. Adiel Mill, also mentioned in imprint as a distributor, was, as well, the publisher, having just purchased the business from Robert Scott. Mills lost the business in 1690, thereby ruining Scott for being unable to pay his purchase debt. See Plomer, Henry R. A dictionary of the printers and booksellers who were at work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667. p. 159, 205
