<<Noteworthy edition, published in a tall, thin format.>> This work remained immensely popular well into the 19th century. From its first appearance in 1738, a new edition would be issued almost every year until the 1860’s. However, not all versions were of comparable quality; the title page here boasts of its large, readable letters and quality layout.
