LC copy uniformly bound in contemporary sprinkled calf with a third volume, published in 1755, which is described on LC record 92-195606. The title-pages are possibly cancels: the pagination does not match the Nourse copy described by BN, Voltaire 3058, while it does match the pagination (minus 2 leaves for Avertissement du libraire) called for in the Néaulme edition of 1753 (BN, Voltaire 3053).
