| Notes: | This is a made-up volume, based on a faulty copy of the first edition. after the correct "Introduction" (2d p.ℓ.) another printing of it from a later (7th?) edition has been inserted. The music at the end gives the "Overture in score" also from a later edition, instead of the melodies of the songs which should be in the first edition. Signatures: [A]p2s, 1 ℓ. (inserted), B-Dp8s, Ep4s, Fp2s; (F2 advts. wanting), Bp4s (music). Physical description: 2 p. ℓ., 58, 8 p. 20 cm. more |
