The plate list calls for twenty-one plates, but in actual fact there should be twenty-two, that concerning the eye, facing page 353, which is present in this copy, being omitted from the list. Mrs. Moon, Benjamin Tabart’s Juvenile Library, item 84, could trace only one copy in a private collection in Miami, which she describes as having twenty-three plates, but this is a mistake, as the two anatomy plates should really be counted as one. Also, the Miami copy would appear to lack the Index. Worldcat lists only the copy in the Cotsen collection of children’s books at Princeton, which has one leaf in facsimile and would appear to lack three plates. Regardless of its faults, this is a considerable rarity.
