Specialist Notes
"On papier de chine" edition with some of the characteristics of the first printing.Edition of great value both for the care of the text and for the typographical appearance. Its publication took about 15 months, from October 1836 to December 1837, and there were several changes during the work that serve to distinguish the various editions. For further information, compare Carteret's "Trésor du bibliophile", which meticulously describes the various editions of the work, dedicating 16 pages to it.
