Edition Notes
Early proof. Title and publication information are lightly etched; these were changed in the final version with an extended title and more elaborate calligraphy. Also of interest is the publication date of February 1798, a month earlier than the final state. Christopher Lane of The Philadelphia Print Shop indicated other proof copies include Müller's dotted signature (see also 89.5).
