Munby states that there were 550 copies; the prospectus states 50 copies on large-paper but Dibdin Bibliographical Decameron vol.II p.392 says: ‘There were only 55 copies struck off on Large Paper.’. Regular and large-paper copies collate and paginate identically. In vol.I leaf M4 pp.87-88 occurs in two states both usually found together with and without the engraved facsimile of Polish type; the text of the bottom nine lines of p.87 is reset with the headline in a different type face; and there are minor changes in p.88. Ross Winans 1796–1877 was an American inventor mechanic and builder of locomotives and railroad machinery. He was one of the United States' first multimillionaires. His “small but choice†library Dickinson was bought en bloc by G.D. Smith and sold through various auctions though his copy of the First Folio was last recorded by Lee in the Census and is now unlocated. Windle and Pippin A25. Printed for the Author by W.
