General noteIssues with woodcuts depicting a writer and a globe are not of the first printing (cf. Winship). Early issues (e.g. no. 2) especially vary in headpieces (author/globe, floral, or lozenge) and different factotum initial designs. The setting of text for issues with the author/globe differs substantively from those with the floral or lozenge headpieces, which in turn differ only slightly from each other.
