Duncan’s translation and discourse being now ready to be published in one volume folio, it is agreed that B is to pay for the translation and discourse; that A are to provide the plates formerly printed in Samuel Clarke’s edition of Caesar and pay for their alteration; and that the expenses of print, paper, etc., of this and all future editions are to be divided equally between A and B, as is the profit (‘Produce’) from them. Any costs involved in engraving plates, etc., for future editions of a smaller size shall also be equally borne, and Tonson has agreed that the designs of the folio plates may be used in any such editions. The property of a moiety of the translation and discourse is to be vested in A and the sole property of the folio plates in Tonson. The edition now printed shall be subscribed (i.e. offered for sale by subscription) to the trade, then two hundred copies shall be equally divided between A and B and the rest of the impression stocked. When the two hundred are sold, the remaining copies are to be equally divided, forty copies at a time, till the whole impression is gone.
