"The book is justly commended for the beauty of its typographical execution; indeed it may be questioned whether any contemporaneous production of the foreign presses exceed it, in the regularity of the register, and lustre of the ink."-Dibdin's Ames. Very few perfect copies are known, and though a fairly common book in a very imperfect state, it is but seldom met with as complete as the above.
