Todd & Bowden 59Ab: "To 'strengthen' a rather slim performance, typographically, one or more of the early gatherings were usually printed on heavier paper [as here] . Because of the belated insertion of a second, half-sheet (H) there is a repetition of numbered pages 68-69 resulting in the misnumbering of all subsequent pages.".
