Catalogue Note
The American edition appears to use a setting of text based extremely closely on the English setting, with minor differences: the double inverted commas of the English setting, for example, are rendered as single inverted commas here. There is an illustration listing which is omitted in the English edition and the illustration plates are inserted at different positions.
