Pollard distinguishes two "issues" of this edition: 24325, which has catchword "of" on leaf A1r (listing 5+ copies in Britain and 5+ outside Britain); and 24325.5, "anr. issue, with quires A-K reset", which has catchword "com-" on A1r (listing 4 copies total). The corresponding English short title catalogue records are S118834 and S3107. The remaining gatherings (L-2A and the title gathering) are of the same setting in all copies; the distinction between Pollard 24325 and 24325.5 is properly variant states, probably resulting from enlargement of the edition in the course of printing.
In some copies, page number 11 misprinted as 1 ("com-" state), 198 as 168, 265 as 205, and 302 as 392.
