Three watermarks: "J DUBOIS" accompanied by medallion. One countermark: "A L". Original sheet size probably 38 x 50 cm. Title proper from recto is the work of a later editor--Simeon DeWitt or his assign--subsequent to 1820. He incorrectly calls this the third sheet of No. 52 though it is the fourth- the so-called "contraction."
