Abstract
This book uses the same text plates as that published in the same year by Thomas Knox. This book cleans up some of that book's errors noted in my comments there. It adds many full-page unpaginated illustrations after Grandville, so that the final count of them is about twenty. Several times a reader can note changes from Grandville's conception of given visual scenes (for example, facing 172 and 240). At other times, careful scrutiny shows that the engravings are only after Grandville. The title page uses one of the printer's-filler-designs that is repeated several times, as in Knox, on text pages. Like Knox's book, this version has an AI at its back.
