Description
Collation: pi¹, A⁸, *B⁴, a-e⁸, f⁴, B-Z⁸ Aa{198).
A7 signed A3, *B2 signed *B3 in error.
*B4 is an advertisement leaf carrying a list of "Pieces writ by Mr. Lockman, and sold by H. Chapelle" on its recto side, and of "Books printed for and sold by H. Chapelle" on its verso. The catchword on *B3 verso is "THE", which is apparently answered by the first word of the fly-title to "The life of M. de la Fontaine" (a1).
Pp. 359-364 numbered 363-8.
"A catalogue of M. de La Fontaine's works": p. [83]-88.
Additional description
The half-title (pi1) appears to be a leaf on its own, but may have been conjugate with a fly-leaf which is wanting
