* In his foreword the author states that both the first illustrated quarto-ed. from 1704 and the 8vo ed. without ills. from 1739 were fast sold out. Therefore he decided to issue an illustrated 8vo edition especially for schoolchildren. The author hopes that the book will be used as a prize at schools. The illustrations are by Simon Fokke, inserted pages on thick paper, each page containing 6 small engravings.
