⁂ A rare book, in a somewhat poor state. ESTC records copies in only 4 UK locations (Edinburgh University, 2 at Glasgow University, Bodleian Library Oxford, and Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh), and 3 further copies in America. The British Library contains copies of the 1662 and 1663 editions but not this first edition.
