The rarity of the original edition of Satchell’s is such that the copy now at Abbotsford was the only one Mr Constable had ever seen—and no wonder, for the author's envoy is in these words:—

“Begone, my book, stretch forth thy wings and fly
Amongst the nobles and gentility;
Thou'rt not to sell to scavengers and downs,
But given to worthy persons of renown.
The number's few I've printed, in regard
My charges have been great, and I hope reward ;
I caus'd not print many above twelve score.
And the printers are engaged that they shall print no more.”
