There is another issue, which has engraved t.p. only; p. [3-8], 1st count are from a different setting of type (last word in 3d line on p. [3] reads: Himmel); the illustration on p. IV has erroneously been printed on p. VI and vice versa. In this issue the last word on the 3d line on p. [3] reads: Himel; the illustrations on pages IV and VI have been correctly printed
