title-page, given above, with a blank leaf attached, appears
to have been printed in order that it might be substituted for the titlepage
of the 1614 edition of the Descriptio by those who desired to have
the two works on logarithms bound together. In such cases the 16 14
title-page is usually cut out and the new one pasted on in its place.
Consequently, in these copies, we find the same varieties as mentioned
in the preceding entry. In other copies, however, only the new titlepage
and blank leaf are inserted before the Constructio.
