The collation of this second edition or re-issue is the same as the first, except 

 that the impressions of the plates are not so good, and that plate xiii. is printed on

 letterpress to plates xiii.-xv. has also been reset, but to all the other plates it is pre- 

 cisely as in the first issue. The paper throughout the volume is poorer than that 

 of the first issue. Brunet doubts the existence of a second edition of any except
