One of an edition of 500 copies on specially made paper and 15 copies on imperial Japanese vellum paper "The original of the catalogue was bought by William Mackenzie, esq., from N. G. Dufief, bookseller, and bequeathed by him ... to the Library Company of Philadelphia. The present copy is itself a copy of a copy made for the late T. H. Wynne and now owned by Mr. R. A. Brock of Richmond, through whose kindness I am able to make this reprint ... It was probably made in 1777 just before the library was sold [and] ... was printed ...
