Uncontrolled note

This setting of type was used to produce 1) An edn of PL + PR in 8? (this item); 2) PL only in 8? (t170549); 3) PL and PR in 12? (t170548). The bibliographical complexities are unravelled in K. A. Coleridge, 'Descriptive catalogue of the Milton collection in the Alexander Turnbull Library', 174
