Date of production inferred from internal evidence. The volume was examined by Henry Maxwell Lyte in 1904, and a note of his conclusions is tipped in. He notes that the volume includes Sir Francis Bacon as Attorney General (a position to which he was appointed in 1613) and Sir Julius Caesar as Chancellor of the Exchequer (a position he resigned in the autumn of 1614). Additions of names appear to have continued into 1616.
