account

The work consists of 20 numbered plates, the title, the printer's mark, the publisher's note, and the table of the harmonies. The former owner of the above copy, finding the size of the book inconvenient (51 x 37 centimeters), had reprinted the title, the publisher's note, the of the impression, and the table, and the plates mounted on Japan paper (32 3/10 x 25 3/5 centimeters), so as to make the book easier to handle; for this reason, the leaf with the printer's mark is now at the end of the book. The copy thus altered was originally no. 123 of 275 copies on India paper.
