The Authors of England[edit]

The Google Books copy is missing many of the engravings. The Internet Archive copy has them, but is a later printing and appears to be abridged. Not sure how to incorporate the Internet Archive copy into the article but it might be useful to readers (and provide backup to Google Books unreliability with books/links that go MIA).
