A large paper copy (27.6 cm tall versus 25-26 cm typically) such as the Radziwill large-paper copy in blue morocco, 115 frs. mentioned at p. 413 in Lewine, Bibliography of Eighteenth Century Art and Illustrated Books (London, 1898), and the NYPL Spencer Collection copy ex-Henry Huth annotated on its blank front flyleaf, Large paper, from the library of Prince Gallitzin (pages 27.6 x 21.5 cm). The printing in the present copy, compared carefully with that of the Huth-Spencer copy, is superb. Just one indication, among many, is the engraving of the miniscule seascape in the van Vianen vignette on p. 152 at the end of Lib. V: the tiny fine lines of the ships, waves and clouds are incisively clear and unbroken.

Bishop and Mary S. Collins, their bookplates on front pastedown.
