General note"There is no sheet O, pp. 97-104, the gap being the result of dividing the manuscript between two printers, I.D. and I.H., in order to hasten the work. ... That I.D. was John Dawson is proved by the fact that a device known to be his appears on the type-printed title of the 1625 issue. I.H. was undoubtedly John Haviland who printed Smith's Sea grammar, 1627, and his Advertisements, 1631 ..."--Sabin, J. Bibliotheca Americana, no. 82824.
