Mr. Eames has also another copy of this work, 

 in cloth boards, uncut edges, with paper labels 

 on the backs, printed appareutlj^ about 1860, 

 but, like the titles, dated 1832. The contents of 

 the two volumes agree exactly with the above 

 as far as page 660 of volume 1, and as far as page 

 711 of volume 2. The variations are as follows: 

 In volume 1 another appendix is added (no. 4, 

 Sketches of the principal characters in Maine, 

 etc.), filling pp. 661-696. In volume 2 the ap- 

 pendix no. 5 (List of Counties and Towns 

 within the State, etc., pp. 712-714 of the above, 

 ending on page 714 with a note of seven lines), 

 is omitted, and in its place is inserted a new 

 appendix no. 5 (Index . . . a list of counties 

 and corporate towns inclusive), filling pp. 712- 

 729. This is a general index to both volumes. 

 Excepting the titles, and the absence of the 

 portrait and plate, the sheets of this copy are 

 the same as in the edition of 1839 described 

 below, of which it seems to be merely a reissue. 

 In neither do the lists of contents include the 

 additions.
