Note
Anonymous. By John Selden, edited by Nathaniel Bacon

The imprint is false.This edition was secretly reprinted in 1672 and issued with the date of the original 1647 edition (Wing B348B)

With "Grays-Inn-Gate" in imprint; the original 1647 edition has "Grayes-Inne-Gate"

This edition has the title page in two settings. Setting (A): With "third" in title and printer's name and address on two lines. Setting (B): With "Third" in title and printer's name and address on one line. Quires B-C are in two settings. Setting (1): B1r and C1r have no ornaments at head. Setting (2): with a row of type ornaments at head of B1r, and a woodcut ornament on C1r. Quire D is in two settings. Setting (a): signature-mark "D" of D1 is under the "u" of "Conquerour". Setting (b): signature-mark "D" is under the "n" of "and"

Wing mistakenly identifies the state with imprint word "Walbanke" as the 1672 reprint
