Manuscript collation note written by John Mitchell on vol. 5 front fly-leaf: "In this vol. plate 547 is misplaced, and put before plate 546 which is at p. 896 & right; but plate 547 is facing p. 894". Manuscript collation note written by John Mitchell on vol. 6 front fly-leaf: "In this vol. plate 612 which is at p. 1108 should be at p. 1106 & plate 613 which is at p. 1112 should be at p. 1107".

The stamp was also used on books bound for Martin Folkes (1690-1754) and George Baillie (1664-1738).
