§ A very attractive copy of the reprint of the 4 volume edition printed 'En Suisse' (1779--1780) with a supplementary volume by Henri Struve (1751--1826) to bring it up to date. Much of the added material came from Guyton de Morveau's Encyclopédie méthodique volumes on chemistry and from the German edition of the dictionary, translated with notes by J. G. Leonhardi.
