 juillet 1858.) 



Owing to these circumstances the woi'k is in fact an unfinished one. It was announced to 

 appear in 30 livraisons, of 150 plates (5 to a livraison). Only 12, however, were published — i 

 in 1857, and the remaining 8 from Sept., 1857, to July, 1858. The numbering of the plates is 

 with reference to the whole series of 150, only 55 of which appeared ; and is consequently not 

 continuous. The 55 plates are accompanied by about as many sheets of letter-press. The 

 following is a list of them (I cannot separate them in sets according to livjaisons, nor give 

 exact dates; but the first 20 appeared in 1857, livrs. 1-4, and the remainder in 1857 and 1858):

The livraisons in which these plates and their accompanying text appeared may be seen by 

 the table of contents in the work. They were published not in the above order nor in any 

 other; nor did the sheets of text always appear with the plates to which they respectively 

 pertain. The text is very briefly descriptive of the subjects of the beautiful plates.

 sary to cite his useless synonyms.
