Micrographia

London 1665 is the true first and there is no foreign or earlier precedent; Micrographia was written and first printed in English as the Royal Society's first major publication. The 1667 Micrographia is not a second edition but the first edition, second issue — the same 1665 sheets reissued with a cancel title dated MDCLXVII; recorded 1667 title states carry John Martyn's changed address at the Bell a little without Temple Bar, and copies are also catalogued with a James Allestry / Royal Society 1667 imprint. A 1667 title page therefore means second issue, and should be described as such rather than as a first edition without qualification.
