Colophon of v. 1: De l'imprimerie de la veuve Ballard, rue des Mathurins, 1774.
The last etching in v. 1 is dated 1775.
Vol. 1: [4], xxij, [2], 128, [4], [129]-486, [6] p., [4] leaves of plates.
Of the 2 unpaged leaves following p. 128 of v. 1, the 1st seems misplaced, since it bears the colophon and advertisements; the 2nd was supposed to be removed, should the 3 novels of v. 1 be bound in 1 v.
Following Arnaud's Le sire de Créqui in v. 1 is an Old French text captioned "Romance contenant l'histoire du sire de Créqui composée vers 1300".
LC has another volume (arbitrarily numbered as v. 1a of the set) containing a 2nd copy of p. [325]-[490] of v. 1 (the novel Le sire de Créqui) and p. [1]-160 of v. 2 (the novel Le prince de Bretagne).
LC set has Yudin's blind stamp on p. 13 of vol. 1 and on first page of text in vol. 1a.
