General noteBowyer's records show 250 copies printed on Genoa demy, 500 copies on Holland demy, and 250 copies on Holland crown; the initial sheets were printed with each paper having the same number of copies, so 27 sheets had to be reprinted, presumably to raise the number of copies on Holland demy.
