    . La page de titre indique qu'il s'agit de la quatrième édition. Cet ouvrage a été publié à l'origine par Nolet & Zoon. Cette édition est publiée par Koster, mais semble être substantiellement la même. Quatre lithographies teintées (frontispice et trois planches avec deux images chacune) par van P. Blommers de 's Hage. Les lithographies ont vraisemblablement été réalisées pour une collection antérieure, car elles portent des numéros de planches aléatoires (13, 19, 25, 3, 50, 42, 45). Dos en bougran et planches imprimées bleues. Sans titre. Un peu entaillé et bosselé sur les bords.
