What am I missing? I downloaded a 30MB .pdf. It ends abruptly at p.272 midsentence.
The title page says "IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. THE DICTIONARY." That's consistent with WorldCat listings that say Vol. 1 is the dictionary and Vol. 2 is a general history.
A few pages later, there's a note to "subscribers" (presumably people who would have paid in advance and received the work in sections) noting that they should save the illustrations "for binding with the General History, for the illustration of which they were specially designed." However, for "those who prefer dividing the plates," there's a suggested placement for eight of the illustrations within the Dictionary. The last of them is to go across from p. 499, so obviously I'm missing almost half of the book, or more.
Did I miss downloading another file? --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
