Discrepancies between these accounts may be due to variants not yet recognised.

Made-up set bound in 3 vols. comprising the complete work except for pt. iii (plates 121-250) and text of 'Mantissa' (Supplied from 1769 ed.)

Pts. i-ii are folio as described by Guédès (other authorities give 4to). Pt. iv is 4to as described by Henrey, with printed t.p. and no engr. dedication leaf. Guédès describes folio plates with 4to t.p.

Plates from 251 onwards have no printed legends but legends have been added by hand on several.

Plates 281-2, 288 and 292-6 are not present; they were not ready for original publication in 1696 and were apparently added in 1705.
