Binding format and presentation notes:

All issues disbound from their original bindings, but spines solidly stitched

[1] This is typically followed by a relation of the year to ‘Bissextile’ (in a repeating four-year cycle) and, until 1865, also to that of ‘our Deliverance by K. William From Popery and Arbitrary Government’ (this disappears from 1866 onwards); in all issues, a précis of contents follows in small print
