Cancels can be found: v. 1, p. 63-64 (if this leaf is a cancel then there is no press figure on p. 64, if the leaf is integral with the volume then there is a press figure 11); v. 2, p. 17-18 where the last word on p. 17, ln. 20 has been corrected from 'their' to 'there'.


"In three volumes." -- t.p.
