Errors in Paging. In pp. 1-244 there are 10 errors which do not affect the total but in pp. i-[ 40] the numbers 31 & 32 are twice repeated, so that numbers on all the subsequent pages are understated by 2. In Glasgow University Library is a copy of this edition with an extra leaf inserted at the end containing "Errata.— Curteous Reader thou art desired to correct these faults following, which chiefly happened through the absence of the Author and the difficulty of the Coppy. viz." this is followed by ten lines of corrections. The author's name, it will be observed, is spelt on the title-page in the modem form, and the Dedication to King James is signed, "John Napier, Peer of Marchiston." The substitution of Peer for Fear or Feuer of Merchiston seems to have been intentional. It is not noticed in the errata, but is of course a mistake. This is the only edition in which " The Text.", " The Paraphrasticall Exposition!', and the " Jlistoricall Application.", are printed successively and not in parallel columns. The " Historicall Application.", is printed in black letter. " An. Chr." is printed on the margin of each page in both treatises. Libraries. Adv. Ed.; Sig. Ed.; Un. Ed.; New Col. Ed. (2); Un. Gl.
