| Copies Seen: |
Levy [1788]; Levy [2210] |
| Notes: |
This is likely most often found as a second part of Académie Universelle des Jeux,
but Levy [2210] is only the whist translation, stitched, as issued. In that copy,
gathering E is missigned 'D' and pages 57 and 58 are misnumbered 75 and 85. There
is another versions dated 1765. I have seen photographs of a few openings only and
it
appears to be in part the same setting of type, but for some pages different type. |
