• The attached photo was listed as a "contemporary binding", but the set of books may not have been released in this binding. This should be replaced with a better image if it becomes available.
• Additional data from the 14 OCLC records for this volume. Known reprint dates, or "selections from" Lane listed in OCLC include: 1845, 1847, 1848, 1853, 1855, 1856, 1859, 1860, 1863-1868, 1875, 1877, 1879, 1880, 1882, 1883, 1889, 1891, 1894-1896, 1900, 1901, 1906-1915, 1921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930, 1933, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1944, 1946, and 19 years after 1950.
