there are eight repetitions on the page, the space barely suffices for 
them ; and accordingly sometimes one, sometimes the other of the 
outer lines of the formula is omitted, the same as in No. I. The 
columns stand upright and reversed on alternate pages; though 
there are many misprinted pages, about 12 per cent, of the total. 
No. 1Y. Book. 
Belongs to M. 8. Found at Kiang Tuz Size, 12§ x 8". Number 
of forms, 20. Paper, variety Illd. One outer form damaged by 
burns ; entire surface of all leaves greased with fat. Riveted with threo 
copper pegs. Printing commences, contrary to the usual rule, on the 
second page of the first form, but stops, as usual, on the ante-ante¬ 
penultimate page. Print throughout almost illegible, owing apparently 
to the greasy surface of the paper. 
Contains recension Va, printed in two columns on each page, 
running parallel to the longer side of the book, and containing each 
nine impressions of the formula ; there being accordingly 18 impressions 
on every page. On some pages the columns are printed both upright; 
on others one column stands upright, the other reversed. Thus

These two arrangements seem to have been observed quite promis¬ 
cuously ; thus : on 1st form upright and reversed throughout, 
upright throughout, 
upright on 3rd page only, 
upright on outer pages only, 
upright on two first pages only, 
upright on outer pages only, 
upright on inner pages only, 
do. do. do., 
do. throughout, etc., etc. 
On those pages where the impressions are placed in opposite direc¬ 
tions, it is always the left-hand sides of the formula (as seen on Plate
