[DCRM-L] Title or edition?

[Noble, Richard]

To add to Deborah's note: If earlier editions were divided, then that's
part of the general title. The rest, however, is probably specific to the
edition, though again this may require comparison with earlier editions.

Real Latinists invited to make a fool of me, but this is the gist:

Much improved from prior editions, and continued to the year 1654, adorned
with diverse portraits of various princes and illustrious men. With the
addition at the end of the terms of peace between the English and the
Dutch, with portraits of the most distinguished naval commanders.
