"Winkler 1368 locates only two copies of this rare and important San Antonio imprint. Potter was a resident of Matamoros at the time, and 'had opportunities for obtaining the kind of information which few persons, if any, still living in Texas have possessed.' The work was known to Raines only through the reprint"--Eberstadt 162:612.
