The chief points to be noted in connection with these 

 dates, which show publication to have been of an erratic 

 character, are those of several volumes whose issue appears 

 to have been delayed. 



Thus Vol. XVIII. , though dated 1820, was not received 

 until April 6, 1821, and a note is given : " Le tome XIX. a 

 paru," and that volume, dated 1821, was recorded January 

 26, 1821. 



When the XXIVth Volume was acknowledged, August 10, 

 1822, a note was given that " Le XXIII. 6 volume sera publie 

 dans la courant du mois d'aout." It did not appear until 

 December 14, 1822, when another note reads : " Le tome 

 XXIV. a paru (voyez n. 5237)," but that referred to 

 Vol. XXV., which had also been issued, November 23, 1822. 



Volumes XXXVII. and XXXVIII. , though dated 1825, 

 were not received until May 31, 1826, and April 29, 1826, 

 and at the latter date Vol. XXXIX., dated 1826, was 

 simultaneously recorded ; though on April 12, 1826, a note 

 had been given that : " Trente-neuf volumes du text sont 

 imp rimes." 



On September 2, 1826, is given the news that " Les tomes 

 41 et 42 du texte ont etc imprimes a Strasbourg," and these 

 are catalogued on September 23, 1826. 



Vol. LIV. did not appear until April 25, 1829, and the 

 title page is dated 1829, though Vols. LV., LVL, LVII. and 

 LVIII. had all appeared previously. 



The receipt of Volume LIX., which bears the date 1829, 

 is altogether missing, being the only one not acknowledged. 



The plates accompanying the Dictionnaire were issued at 

 irregular intervals, sometimes with the volumes, sometimes
