Notes

A variant title page with a woodcut illustration rather than the printer's device (STC 13340.5; Greg 467a(ii)) is bound at the beginning of the imaged copy of The Iron Age 1, which has also been bound with The Iron Age 2 though these were apparently issued as single-play playbooks. The additional Iron Age 1 title page is not transcribed in the EEBO-TCP or SHC files. It shares the same text and type-setting as the STC 13340 title page.
