Full collation: xvi, 210, [209]-326, [1] p. The final leaf is an errata list identical with that issued with the first ed. It is found placed after p. 210 (1st occurrence) in some copies. A plate numbered 4 ("The Mohawk church"), called for by the instructions to the binder is not present in this copy. It was probably never issued. Cf. Sabin 102738 (note).
