 the later one of 1812. According to my imperfect information these are as follows : 



1766. Editio princeps, ut supra. 



1768 (to 1770?). Second edition. 8vo. 



1768 (to 1770 ?). Third ? edition. (How about this ?) 



1771-76. Murr's edition, in Latin and German. (This is not included in the regular enu- 

 meration of the editions.) 



1776-77. The so-called ''Fourth" edition. 4 vols, in two issues, one in 8vo and the other 

 in 4to ; copies also difi'ering slightly in the cnllation of the unpaged leaves, but typography 

 identical. 



1812. Another edition. 4 vols. 8vo. (Fii-st ed. with author's name on the title.) 



All of these are noted, or fully given, beyond, at their respective dates.
