Notes: Collation: 4to: [A]1 B-U² W² X-Z² A1-A5² B5²(B5₁+[chi]1) C5-N8² O8²(O8₂ missing, blank?) [$1 signed; signing 2nd to 9th alphabets as 'A1' etc. rather than '2A' etc.]; 397 leaves, pages [i-iii] iv [v] vi [7] 8-467 [468 (blank)], ²[1-3] 4-322 [323] 324-326. Only the first alphabet contains W. The interpolation of the v.2 title leaf into gathering B5 is conjectural, based on a copy bound as one volume without it, inferred from the pagination of v. 2 by which it is taken into account as pages 1-2.

Title printed in red and black.

"Directions to the binder" (page 326) lists 20 plates, followed by a separate list of 24 "extra plates". The 20 basic plates were engraved by John Chorley, Thomas Kelly, O.H. Throop, and Butterworth, Livesey & Co., some after W.M. Craig; some are unsigned; and many include "For Teal's edition" in their lettering. There is considerable overlap between these plates (including also some of the "extra" plates) and those associated with The Columbian family and pulpit Bible (Boston: J. Teal, 1822).

Not in Shoemaker.
