Each of the first seven hundred copies of this work contains three
specimens of actual pages from old Oxford books, copies of which are
both common and cheap. Thus nos. 1–200 contain pages from (1) Ursinus’s
Summe of Christian Religion, 1587, (2), N. Fuller’s Miscellanea Sacra,
1616, (3) Carpenter’s Philosophia Libera, 1636: nos. 201–322 (1)
Ursinus, (2) Fuller, (3) Reusner’s Symbola, 1638: nos. 323–500 (1)
Ursinus, (2) Sanderson’s Logica, 1618, (3) Reusner: nos. 501–700 (1)
Ursinus’s Summe of Christian Religion, 1589, (2) Du Moulin’s
Accomplishment of the prophecies, 1613, (3) Grotius’s Defensio fidei
catholicæ, 1636.
After no. 700, at least one actual page will be given, and its
provenance will be indicated by a note of the form “38.20,” implying a
page from the 20th book of 1638 (Reusner).
