It is evident, from a comparison between the foregoing details and the collation of the four-volume edition previously described, that the publishers were compelled, to complete the latter, to print a contents list to Vol. 1. and to add the words “In four volumes, Vol. 1.,” etc., to the title-pages. It will be seen that they had so mismanaged the pagination of the preliminary matter during part issue, that only one of the four final volumes was correctly paged throughout.
