With a half-title: 'Mr. Brooks his string of pearls'.
With a note from the 'Stationer ot the reader', signed John Hancock, warning that: "dishonest booksellers, called land-pirats, who make it their practise to steal impressions of other mens copies, .. have not only wronged me but the author, by false printing many words, and leaving out the table of the chief heads, and of a bad paper and print, and crammed it into eight sheets, without rules ..".
