Notes:
Multiple copies of this work are known to employ a copy of Linnell's prospectus in the position of a title leaf. Both copies in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art (Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts) include a prospectus. In copy 1, the prospectus appears to have preceded publication of the first part of Linnell's engravings ("April, 1833, will be published no. 1 ..."). In copy 2, the prospectus -- similarly titled -- is dated 1834 at bottom ("engraved and published (1834) by J. Linnell ..."). Aside from the differences in dates, the text of the 1834 prospectus is elaborated in places, and the "price of each number" is raised to £1.6.0, where it was listed as £1.0.0 in 1833.
