BAC: British Art Center copy contains an extra variant t.p. The book was evidently advertised by Peter Stent without his imprint in 1662. Globe suggests that technical problems of securing or printing the plates held up publication past a projected date of 1662. Imprimatur on verso of t.p. is dated 'Jan. 27, 1662'. Cf. Globe and Harris. -
