• Princeton copy 1: Frontis. printed on ochre-colored paper, different from text leaves and wrappers.

• Princeton copy 2: A note at foot of p. [24] describes three errors "in a few copies only," all present in this copy.
• Princeton copy 1: Note not present; text on p. 16 reads correctly: "think where grow the plums" (cf. "grow" in c. 2).
• Princeton copy 1: Inscribed on inside front wrapper: "John Clarke Haden, with A.B. Hadon, Love Hse"(?), all writing struck through (presumably later), and below that written: "James Cox, the gift of Wm. H. Cox"; latter inscriptions apparently also over now-illegible pencil writing; also inscribed on p. [24]: "John Clarke Haden."
• Princeton copy 2: Pencil doodling on frontis. verso and rear free endpaper.
