H. Beaufoy, F. R. S. on the front paste-down end-paper. This is a different work from two published in 1680 with a similar title.

That advert does not appear in this edition. Possibly the first printing was one of 72 pages (ESTC T54055; BL, Oxford Worcester; Princeton, National Library of Australia), and the second with page 82 mis-numbered 28 and the advert just mentioned (ESTC T200543; Cambridge; Toulouse; Delaware, Texas).
