<font size=3>Life has kindly thrown me a good example of the sort of
non-unique/non-universal states that seem to warrant a 500 $5, but I'd be
interested in knowing how my colleagues would tag this information. The
message to be taken away from this pair of notes is something like
"Note that your copy may differ--if that matters to
you."<br><br>
General note (500):<br><br>
One of 2 editions not distinguished by Wing. In this edition (ESTC
R226090) the W of "Warre" and "Williams" is a
composite of 2 fitted V types (with the top of the right-hand upright of
the first V filed off); in the other edition (ESTC R18346) the W's are
represented by 2 adjacent V's ("VVarre" and
"VVilliams").<br><br>
Quasi-general note immediately following (500):<br><br>
One of 2 Brown University copies of this edition (lacking title, but
inferrable as having a "Warre" title based on the remaining
leaves of gathering A) actually represents a mixture of the 2 editions
recorded in ESTC, with gatherings C-Q, S-T from the same setting of type
as the British Library copy of ESTC R18346 (VVarre) reproduced in Early
English Books/EEBO (UMI 380:09); Brown's other copy differs from the BL
copy throughout. Gatherings A-B, R, V-2D are from the same setting in
both Brown copies, i.e. neither evidences yet a third setting of
type.|5RPB<br><br>
