Leaf measures: 6| x 4 15/16 inches. Type page, p. 2, including borders: 147 x 81 mm.

enough to render possible a careful examination of the gatherings which compose the book. These are seen to be
as follows:

A⁴, B⁴, C², the two leaves of signature "C" being quired between the first two and last two leaves of signature
"B", so that an examination of a bound copy would lead one to read A⁴, B², C⁴.
