Misc. Notes This file is based on high-resolution images obtained from the source using a method explained on this page.
Full BNF resolution compressed to 80% jpgs. (Possibly the first edition, possibly the second. NIFC gives December 1837 for Schlesinger and November 21 1837 for Wessel & Co. (London)'s edition, so a month or so at most separates the two publications.)
