FIRST EDITION. The authorized first edition of the first part of Butler's famous satire on Puritanism was issued in three formats: large octavo, small octavo, and duodecimo. The present copy belongs to the large octavo issue, which was issued prior to the other other two formats. The second part also belongs to the large octavo issue (a smaller octavo issue was also published). The third part can be distinguished from a second edition published the same year in that it is without a license on the title verso and contains the separate errata leaf at end. Grolier English 32 (First Part); Grolier Wither to Prior 126, 130, 134; Wing B6300, B6309 and B6313. (3)
