ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS

Addendum by Allan H. Stevenson to "Watermarks Are Twins" in the present volume:

The Quaritch-Folger copy of the Pide Bull Lear apparently has no letter P in its Pot watermarks, merely two close bars across the bowl of the twin variants. However, at least sheet H of the Huntington copy does show a P on the lower part of the bowl of variant a. It may be that this letter dropped out in late reams made from mould a. Further copies may clear up the point.

The Wheel or Flower mark of John Tate appears in a third volume printed by Wynkyn de Worde—Chaucer's Canterbury Tales of 1498. See The Victoria History of the County of Hertford, ed. William Page, IV (1914), 256. The Folger copy (one of three extant) has, like the Bartholomæus, just the one pair of marks throughout the volume.

Correction to Lawrence C. Starkey, "The Printing by the Cambridge Press of A Platform of Church Discipline, 1649," vol. II, pp. 91-92.

Editor's note: As explained in a note to Dr. Starkey's article, the receipt of information about the uniquely variant copy owned by Mr. Thomas W. Streeter when proof was far advanced necessitated some slight alterations in the text of the article and a series of explanatory footnotes. In this process the editor believed that he had rechecked the hypothesis for cut-sheet printing in the light of the new characteristics of the Streetcr copy, but, if so, he was seriously at fault, since the hypothesis does not in fact work out although consistent with the information of the copies at Dr. Starkey's disposal when he wrote his account. It appears, therefore, that thc outer half-sheet of the preliminary gathering was not printed by cut-sheet imposition but, instead, by ordinary half-sheet imposition, the correction of the outer forme taking place when less than half of the white paper had been run, and the correction of the inner forme very shortly after perfecting had begun.

Errata for vol. II: on pp. 192-194 for Gist read Cist. For vol. III: on p. 255, line 3, for 1693 read 1695.
