The leftmost numbers indicate major break-points in the production cycle. Suc-
cessive indentions show increasingly minor variants. The variants are identified
by combining the sigla at the successive indentions. For example: on page a2v,
variant 1b1 has a comma after "Honourers" in the dedication's closing; the clos-
est distance between "S" in "IAMES" and "S" in "SHIRLEY" is 3 mm; and
there is a rule at the bottom. Asterisks within the descriptions mark the resetting
of page numbers.
