There were also 445 copies bound in parchment and cloth boards.

He describes in his "Note on Herrick" how "every detail of this book's design is my own. with good spirit and good care I have made the drawings and placed them with their poems". The result is a very attractive production which brings out, in Flint's words, the "prettiness blossomed into beauty" of Herrick's poems. Quarto.
