There is a copy of this edition in the Library of the Right Honourable Thomas Grenville, at the British Museum. In a note at the end of the volume, Mr. Grenville observes, "This edition is not known to Ames or Herbert, nor has a second copy of it come to my knowledge, though there is one nearly the same, printed for Toye and Coplande. There is no date of the year of printing this book, but it appears, from Ames, that Coplande was fined by the Company of Stationers, in 1561, for printing these three Tracts. The present edition of Tottell's differs in its colophon at least from those pointed out by Herbert as printed by Coplande, and except the reversed cut before the treatise of Fishing, accords exactly with Toye's in its contents."

There is probably another edition, by Coplande, yet undescribedone in Lothbury, over against St. Margaret's Church.
