Uncontrolled note

Not in Henrey, but note that Henrey 1483 calls for a titlepage to the 'Floræ anglicanæ supplementum' dated 1780; is the D copy a variation of this? as there is no titlepage, and pagination differs (Henrey says of her copy: [xvi],259,[1];[xii],120p.). In any case, Henrey 1483 by the dating of her supplement influences us to give the date of D's copy as 1775 [1780?]
