- Possibly the same John Farrington recorded in the British Library catalogue as translator of 'Origin of the Grandeur of the Court of Rome' (1754), by Aubert de Vertot d'Aubeuf. Erroneous attribution of original to Machiavelli, in another hand, on title-page following the asterisks

- Bound in three-quarters black morocco with marbled sides, over boards, apparently in the 19th century.
