Notes: Three editions known. Two have sale date on title page: 28th of May, 1814, one of which has 18 pages. The other has 19 pages with slightly longer descriptions of lots 34 and 41 and significantly longer descriptions of lots 35 and 42. A third edition has sale date given as: 1st of June, 1814 (18 pages). The text of the June 1 catalog matches the shorter edition of the catalog with May 28 sale date (other than the dates given on title page and p. [5]). Presumably, then, the 19 page edition with the May sale date is the earliest of the three.
