By Cyril Davenport, F.S.A.": ".The binding chosen for the present edition of Dr Bates "Elenchus Motuum" is taken from that covering some Almanacks of 1624, which were bound together for Charles, Prince of Wales, and in which he has written some remarks and signed his name. In the centre are four impressions of the Prince of Wales triple ostrich feather badge within a coronet and with a blank label, arranged as a star.
