Here the Antiquities of Ireland form vol. II., and the Writers of Ireland vol. III. Harris at the end of this issue of his preface to vol. II. calls the "Writers" vol. III., and the earlier announcement of this volume as the Civil and Ecclesiastical history of Ireland is omitted. There is another issue of this Preface with list of plates on verso, evidently from the 1764 ed. A prospectus is prefixed to vol. I., and another issue of the two last pages of the index added at the end of the vol., identical with those in the 1764 ed. There is no list of subscribers' names in vol. I., but it has the cancel slip to the "Additions", and the 3 plates not given in Lowndes, with the "Additions to the Writers" and "Corrections" pasted in at the end of vol. III.

Slips of "Additions" are pasted to the verso of the leaf preceding the list of subscribers and at the foot of p. 363 in vol. 2, part 2.
