Provenance:	Prior to Hooke: Hussey, William (d.1691)? After Hooke: Merrick, J[ohn] (c. 1670-1757 or c. 1704-1764; purchased the book for 2s 6d)
Provenance references:	Poole, 'Payen' (2007), p. 263n36; Mandelbrote, 'Sloane's Purchases' (2009), p. 137. The only auction at 'Ch. Hussey's House' in 1691 (new style) mentioned in the List of Catalogues (1915), is on 8 June 1691 (p. 11). Since Hooke also purchased another volume 2 days before this one, at 'Auct. Husseana' on 8 Oct. 1691, there is a possibility this was instead the auction of books belonging to Sir William Hussey (d. 1691); see Poole, 'Payen' (2007), p. 263n36 on William Hussey.
Annotations:	Inscription on the inside of upper board: 'Rob: Hook:. 1s. Oct: 10 1691. Aucti Hussey [Christopher Hussey]. 4[s] 9[d]' [Mandelbrote indicates '2s.' before the date.]
