It is agreed that the work shall be printed in two volumes in quarto on royal paper, with the prints used in the Spanish edition printed by A. B is to procure the copy of the translation at his own expense and A are to furnish the plates for this and any future quarto editions, the cost of print and paper being divided equally between them. If B is obliged to furnish Jervas with fifty sets of books he is to pay A £25 as well as the cost of the print and paper for them. The net profits in this and any future editions printed by A and B shall be equally divided, and if they print the book in any other size the costs of engraving the plates shall be equally borne and A shall allow Mr (John) Vanderbank’s designs to be used. The property of a moiety of the translation shall be vested by B in A, but the property of the original quarto plates, after being used, shall remain in A.
