This volume consisted of fasc. 5-8. Unfortunately fasc. 5 is 
badly mixed in the B. F. It is noticed 3 My. 1817, but is called 
the fourth fascicle (an error corrected 13 D. 1817, in noting the 
next fascicle *), and although the description, “13 feuilles et 
demie, plus 25 planches,” is accompanied by the statement “ in- 
folio,” it is evident from the price named that it was the quarto 
edition which the bibliographer had in hand. There is little 
doubt, however, that fasc. 5 contained, in the folio form, pp. 1- 
80, and in the quarto, pp. 1-96, and the B. F. is no doubt correct 
in saying 25 plates, viz., p/. Q7-121. 
Fasc. 6, 7 and 8 are given by the B. F. as follows :” 
Fase. 6. Folio, 18 sign. Quarto, 12 sign. 25 i. 13 D. 1817. 
ges £ ‘¢ 17 sign. ‘© arsign, 22 pl. 28F. 1818. 
cee ‘« 50 sign. ‘*.  2¢men. *. 3¢ fl. 6 Je. 1818. 
The record in the case of fasc. 8 is certainly very puzzling. 
Sherborn and Woodward suggest that the “ 34” plates may be a 
typographical error for “‘ 24,” but there is no need to suppose such 
an error, for there is little doubt that ten plates (793~202) belong- 
ing to the following volume appeared with this fascicle. It is 
the record of the text which is surprising. These three fascicles 
alone (6, 7 and 8), according to the B. F., contained 85 signatures, 
folio, while the entire volume had only 83, sitle-pages included ! 
We are left only two explanations : either the B. F. is in error, the 
folio fasc. 8 consisting of about 26 signatures, the quarto of about 
16; or, as is liable to occur in any such work as this, fasc. 8 may 
have contained a second printing of some of the previously pub- 
lished text, which in its original form was not satisfactory to the 
authors, 
The probable pagination and dates of fasc. 5-8 are as follows :
