Note

Originally published anonymously by Gabriel Grasset, Geneva, but with "Londres, MDCCLXIV" on t.p. Cf. Brown 64.
"Il s'agit de la seule édition allemande du Dictionnaire et sans doute celle que Voss entreprit à la demande de Frédéric II"--Brown. Compositorial characteristics ($5 signed, page catchwords, the use of "U" for "V" in the signature alphabet) support a German origin.
Signatures: *⁴ A-U⁸ X⁴.
Woodcut t.p. vignette; ornamental head- and tailpieces; ornamental initial.
