Comments:

Contents: Notes placed at foot of page, rather than at end of poems. The History of Love here has been completely mixed up: rather than the various sections following the original order with linking verse in between, the order has been changed and poems by other people (Tate, Scroope) added in. Attributions: items in 'The History of Love' have been treated as 'not attributed in miscellany' given the confused order in which they appear, intermixed with texts from Tate and Scrope.

Other matter:

Prefatory matter: Verse dedication to Burlington, pp. [iii]-iv; Introduction pp. [v]-viii.
